​OUR VALUES

COMMUNITY

​Taking care of our team goes beyond the office. We believe in the power of building community between our teammates. We engage in activities outside of the workplace to strengthen our bond. We care about life here at the office and each employee's life outside of the office. ​

EMPOWERMENT

We believe that every team member has a unique set of skills and gifts. Our culture creates an environment where employees are expected to take extreme ownership and bring all of their unique strengths to their role. We take charge of our growth by operating within our strengths and outside our comfort zones.

HOPE

We believe that it doesn’t have to be this way. We believe with our whole heart that this mission can and will be achieved. We show up every day being reminded that there is hope and beauty in the foster care system –– And we will not stop until every child, youth, and family is reached.

TRANSFORMATION

We are social entrepreneurs who refuse to settle for the way things are. We are committed to creating an environment that allows everyone to realize and fulfill their talents and potential, both in our programs and in our work environment. By doing so, we will transform the world we live in.

CURIOSITY

We maintain an attitude of humble curiosity, putting aside judgment to seek truth, knowledge, and understanding.
We remain lifelong learners to better ourselves and our community by encouraging continued education with educational stipends and in-office learning.

As an employee of Salem Angels, the community we build together empowers us to work for change, and hope for the future.

Join the Movement!

From our small beginnings meeting in houses and coffee shops, to now walking alongside hundreds of children, youth & families, and training hundreds of volunteers all across Marion and Polk County, we have always been clear on one thing––we're on a mission to change the foster care system. We can only accomplish this with a diverse team that boasts a variety of ideas, beliefs, and backgrounds. That is why we need YOU!
