Core Values: Respect for All Uncompromising respect for human dignity is the foundation upon which Neighborhood Houses was built. We fundamentally value people and are always mindful of individual circumstances and points of view. We are committed to fostering communities of inclusiveness, equality and fairness – – ones that empower families and inspire children to aspire to greatness. Faith & Stewardship Our faith-based legacy implores us to be vigilant in assessing and responding to community needs and, in the spirit of exemplary stewardship of our mission, we work relentlessly to provide quality resources to those who are experiencing social injustice. Resilience & Empowerment We believe that resilience is a critical element of personal character that can be built in all of us, despite socio-economic conditions. Individuals should always be viewed as optimal agents of their own personal growth, but in no way does this mean that the road toward resilience should be traveled alone. Quality Programs & Caring Staff By providing effective educational services, youth programs and a caring, dedicated staff, Neighborhood Houses is supporting the growth of children into productive, engaged adults, and we are helping parents become confident advocates for their own families. Yet, in humble recognition of our own limitations, we are constantly building and cultivating partnerships to enhance our skills and broaden our perspectives. This belief of communalism will forever be engrained Neighborhood Houses and in all that we do.

In the spirit of collective impact, Magnificent Missouri facilitates social events, meetings and other activities to create awareness of conservation efforts, raise funds, foster collaboration, and to get people out in the country.
