Our Commitment to Community:
The Conduit is an interdisciplinary society made up of individuals and companies who believe their lives and work get better when they come alongside each other. This is accomplished through our commitment to cultivating communities:
That Affirm Dignity - We recognize that people have an unconditional, intrinsic, and absolute value that extends beyond their usefulness and abilities toward our conveniences and goals. Therefore we strive to affirm dignity throughout every touchpoint of our community.
That Are Profoundly Brave — We strive to be a place where people experience what it is to dare to be open, uncomfortable, and vulnerable, knowing they will be loved more, not less for it.
Where New Friendships Are Sparked Through Conversation — We strive to create spaces where people can experience the value and worth of others through meaningful and impactful conversations.
Where What Is Most Alive In People Is Touched — We strive to create a place where members can ask, experiment with, and pursue what it means to live a life of meaning, impact, and purpose.
Where People Experience And Embrace The Goodness Of Many Hands — We strive to encourage people to throw off the limitations of self-sufficiency, embrace other people's unique and special talents and seek to find and adopt ways to bring those talents to bear for themselves and others.
Where We Model What It Means To Wrestle With The Unknown — We strive to model what it is to live with the tension of not having an answer for everything, for struggling with the 'whys' of our journey and the perplexing contradictions in our community and world, while embracing what it is to be life-long learners.
That See People And Relationships First - We strive to be a relationship and people-centric community that resists being transactional for the sake of our conveniences and financial goals. Instead, we choose to see people and celebrate and promote their stories and pursuits.
