About
What we are here to do, what we are working towards, and the standards we hold ourselves to in getting there.
Mission
Favored Generation works with communities and partners to provide practical support, expand opportunities for young people, strengthen meaningful connection, and help individuals and families access resources that support wellbeing, learning and participation.
Vision
We envision communities in which individuals, youth and families are treated with dignity, supported through trusted relationships, and equipped with practical opportunities to learn, contribute, connect and thrive.
Our values
These are working standards rather than sentiments. Each one describes behaviour a participant, volunteer, partner or funder can hold us to.
We listen before acting, respond to real needs, and treat people with care rather than pity. Compassion shows up in respectful communication, thoughtful program design, and attention to each participant’s experience.
We communicate honestly, protect confidential information, manage resources responsibly, avoid conflicts of interest, and correct errors when they occur. We do not overstate results or claim services we did not provide.
Participants are people with strengths, choices and goals — not promotional material. We use respectful language, obtain consent, protect privacy, and avoid photographs or stories that exploit hardship.
We make general programs accessible and welcoming to people from different backgrounds. We identify and remove unnecessary barriers, provide accommodation where reasonably possible, and clearly distinguish optional faith-based activities.
We prepare carefully, use qualified people for specialised work, follow approved procedures, learn from feedback, and improve programs rather than relying on good intentions alone.
We use time, funding, donated goods, personal information and community trust responsibly. Donations are applied according to legal requirements, approved restrictions, and our charitable purposes.
Local communities understand their own needs. We work with participants, schools, service providers, businesses, faith communities and nonprofit partners rather than duplicating support that already exists.
We report what was delivered, explain how results were measured, maintain appropriate records, and provide clear routes for questions, complaints and good-faith concerns.
Our foundation
Our values are rooted in the Christian call to love our neighbours and to serve with humility. That foundation shapes how we behave rather than who we will serve: general community programs are open to eligible participants regardless of belief, and faith-based activities are always identified as such.
Each commitment above describes behaviour you can check us against. Our governance page sets out who is responsible for what, and our reports show what was actually delivered.
