The UP™ Program's Core Values
The Kokomo Urban Outreach (KUO) UP™ Program's core values –
Respectful, Responsible, Reliable, and Ready to Work – cultivate a foundation
for success in the workplace and all facets of life. These values foster
essential skills that translate into being a great worker, parent, student, and
citizen.
Respect forms the bedrock of positive relationships. A
respectful individual listens actively, values differences, and fosters a
collaborative environment. These qualities are crucial for effective teamwork,
fostering trust, and open communication within families, classrooms, and
workplaces.
Responsibility translates into ownership of actions and a
commitment to fulfilling obligations. Students who are responsible manage their
time effectively, complete assignments on time, and actively participate in
class. Responsible workers deliver high-quality work, meet deadlines, and
contribute proactively to team projects. Parents who are responsible prioritize
the well-being of their children and create a stable and nurturing environment.
Reliability fosters trust and dependability. Reliable
individuals are consistent in their behavior and can be counted on to complete
tasks to the best of their ability. This characteristic is valued in employees
who can be relied upon to meet deadlines and deliver promised results. Reliable
students are punctual, prepared, and complete assigned work. Similarly,
reliable parents consistently provide for their children's needs.
Readiness to work, lead, speak up and solve problems in a
positive way signifies a proactive approach and a willingness to learn and
contribute. This translates into students actively engaging in learning
opportunities, asking questions, and seeking challenges. In the workplace, this
translates into employees who are eager to take on new tasks and contribute
their skills and perspectives. Parents who are ready to work actively engage in
their children's education and support their growth and development. By
instilling these core values, the UP™ program equips youth with a valuable
skillset that empowers them to become not only successful workers but also
responsible parents, engaged students. Moreover, good citizens will contribute
positively to their communities.
