CORE VALUES

To ensure the success of our community we have developed a framework of guiding principles that are aligned with our vision. Describe in the acronym of O.U.R.F.A.C.T.S.

  • Pooling our resources by bringing our skills, talent, and knowledge will lead to economic empowerment and produce endless opportunities domestically and internationally. Creating programs for ex-offenders to transition them into the workforce so that they can fully be productive citizens within the community.  Creating programs to enhance soft skills and promote professionalism, that will establish excellence.  Enhanced quality of life in health, relationships and love.

  • Communal harmony and a collective commitment to mutual respect, support, and upliftment.  Making a commitment to build healthy relationships with members of the Alhambra community and establish a strong rapport with outside members to strengthen our political power and open additional avenues for commerce.

  • Build and support systems that help the city of Alhambra and its residents adapt to overcome challenges, ensuring long-term sustainability. Developing relationships domestically and internationally to establish healthy business relationships.

  • Emphasizing the importance of family as it is the heart and soul of the community. This includes respect for our elders, aiding one another in need (Wanting for your Brother or Sister as you want for yourself.), sacrificing for the advancement of our youth and community overall.   Work to restore the family unit to strengthen the family, through job creation, programs and hosting family oriented events.

  • As our community grows and we evolve, disagreements and conflicts will arise as they are natural and necessary for growth.  However, when those disagreements/conflicts lead to negative speech and/or actions, a Conflict Resolution Committee will be assembled to mediate matters of mid to high impact. Atonement is a power tool that should be used by everyone as it renews and restores through reconciliation.  The 8 steps of atonement can be used for all levels of conflict and disagreements and are as follows:

    1. Someone must point out the wrong.

    2. Acknowledgement of the wrong.

    3. Confess the fault; to God first, then to the offended.

    4. Repentance: feeling remorse or shame for the conduct.

    5. Atonement; making amends, or settle the matter.

    6. Forgiveness; cease to feel offense & resentment against one another.

    7. Reconciliation and restoration.

    8. Perfect union with God, self, and one another.

  • Taking pride and celebrating our cultural expression and our contributions to society in the areas of art, language, music, literature and inventions. Committing to restoring our historical legacy by building libraries and museums. Educating our youth and the world to actual historical facts. Protect and support the Alhambra community at all times so that she may continue to prioritize the well-being, safety and growth of the neighborhoods in return. 

  • Being transparent in communication by providing clear and honest dialogue and information sharing.  This is for both leadership and residents. Maintaining integrity by providing and citing actual facts.  Providing avenue channels to keep the residential community well informed to encourage participation the direction of the community. Finally but least, remembering that your faith and trust is with God first.
