About Our Community Cohort
Community Cohort Mission
The Community Cohort of Traveling Gnomes are on a mission to create a supportive community for all people to grow in. Our approach involves cultivating community bonds through collaborative projects, engaging events, and forming partnerships with individuals and organizations who share a similar mission. Our community cohort is open to all Traveling Gnomes staff and participants, partnering agencies, and community members who want to work towards a more equitable society.
Community Cohort Values
Human Differences: We seek this out by attending celebrations, marches, and events that honor different groups of people.
Curiosity: We seek this out through connecting to new groups of people, listening to their experiences, and learning how we can work together to better our community.
Mutual Respect: We seek this out by listening to those who don’t historically get offered a seat at the table. We strive to elevate these voices to ensure the change we make has a positive impact on all constituents.
Joy: We seek this out by offering a space for people to unapologetically show up as themselves. No matter where we are in the community, we hope that everyone can authentically be there with us.
