Be Loud values
These are the values that guide every session, every show and every young person who walks through our doors.
We all run this station.
Kids and adults own the space. We take care of it, care about our work, check on each other.
Show up and be loud.
Loud is positive, kind and courageous: try new things, own missteps, ask questions.
We only get better through feedback.
Push each other, give it specific, and stay open to ideas outside your lane.
Respect all voices.
Belonging comes first. Make room for voices unheard.
