Mission and Vision
Our Mission
To build relationships that transform lives and communities.
Mentoring youth, strengthening families, and connecting leaders for community collaboration. We believe if we connect the right people to the right resources, doors will be opened for God to move.
Our Vision
Our work of hope will become a life of reality.
We dream of the day when there’s a caring adult and community for every under-resourced child and family ~ when Hope4Communities are actively engaged throughout the Miami Valley.
​
At MVLF, we believe the following:
Communities are first people, not projects.
Every community has real needs that call for strategy and action. But those needs can grow when helpers forget that communities aren’t just a list of projects, they’re made of people. When we put people first, our plans and efforts make a real difference, right when it's needed.
Unity, not uniformity, helps transform communities.
We value what makes each church, nonprofit, and service group unique. Their history, mission, and passion all matter. That’s why we work to bring these groups together. Our communities grow stronger when we work as one.
We are better together than we are apart.
Our communities thrive when faith-based, education, government, healthcare, non-profit, business, sports, media & art, and philanthropy organizations work together for change. That’s why we use the “Wheel of Change” to guide our efforts and help all sectors move forward, together.
