Company Overview

Graham Windham helps under-served children overcome obstacles on the path to self-sufficiency by giving them the skills to succeed, supporting and strengthening their families and, when necessary, supplementing their families.

CORE VALUES

SAFETY:
If we can not keep our children and families safe, we can not be effective helpers.

Safety comes first. Always.

PERMANENCY:
Children grow and thrive best in families. Therefore, a sustained and concentrated focus on permanency planning (permanent homes for all our children) is essential. All our services must be family friendly, family centered and, whenever possible, family driven.

EDUCATION:
Education is a primary force for individual and collective progress and achievement in American society. We must strive to provide our children with a multitude of opportunities to maximize their academic and vocational potential.

LITERACY:
Children read to learn. Literacy, therefore, is the key to educational success. As caregivers, counselors, therapists, teachers and supporters, we must direct our focus laser-like on literacy standards by highlighting the issues, advocating for literacy services, providing them directly when possible and continually assessing our children's reading progress.

SELF-SUFFICIENCY:
To be true to our mission we must never foster unnecessary dependency. All our programs must build on the competencies and skills of our children and families to promote self sufficiency.

STRENGTH-BASED SERVICES:
All children and families have strengths. By identifying and building on these strengths, the capacity to confront actual weaknesses and deficits is strengthened. Graham Windham is committed to strength-based services, utilizing a child's and family's existing competencies and abilities to shape and implement their individual and family service plans.

OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLES

FIDELITY TO MISSION:
Everything we do as an agency must support our mission.

PERSONAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL INTEGRITY:
Graham Windham operates on trust (with verification of course); trust between client and agency, trust amongst staff and between staff and management, trust between management and board and trust between agency and funders. Essential to trust is integrity, personal and organizational. Integrity, therefore, is a non-negotiable at Graham Windham.

PERFORMANCE CULTURE:
We are committed to a continuous assessment and renewal process and an insistence on service excellence, with rewards for meritous performance.

FISCAL DISCIPLINE:
Financial health is essential for organizational health and, therefore, service excellence. Fiscal responsibility is an organizational imperative.
