EVOLVE Is Defined By Its Core Values
At EVOLVE Family Services, we can provide the personalized support that you would expect from a small, private agency while offering the expertise and program variety of a larger organization. You can expect support through every step of the way, from every perspective of an evolving family.
Our staff embrace and are passionate about working with individuals of any age, ethnicity, culture, or family structure. We have a global perspective that extends beyond the “typical” agency experience, breaking down any barriers towards family formation.
EVOLVE is located anywhere from the heart of the Twin Cities to the middle of the St. Croix Valley but work statewide, as well as in western Wisconsin, to unite children with loving families.
Child-Centered
Children are at the center of everything we do. We believe all children benefit from a supportive, stable, and nurturing family and community.
Anti-Oppressive
We are committed to dismantling oppression, racism, and other forms of discrimination in all areas of our work with children, families, and communities.
Collaborative
We believe children are better served when we partner across program areas, social and governmental agencies, and within our diverse communities.
Transparent
We believe integrity, honesty, and accountability are essential in building trusting relationships.
Evolving
As advocates for systemic change, we are continuously developing and improving upon the ways in which we support our children and families.
Vision: A world where everyone has nurturing, permanent and supportive familial relationships.
Mission: To achieve our Vision by providing a full breadth of inclusive, ethical programming: adoption, foster care, pregnancy support, youth services, and therapeutic support and education.
EVOLVE Is Committed To Serving As An Antiracist And Anti-Oppressive Organization.
EVOLVE acknowledges that we work within a society and systems of care that are rooted in white supremacy and racism, which frequently result in disparate outcomes for children and families of color. We are committed to dismantling oppression, racism, and other forms of discrimination in all areas of our work to ensure that the children, families and communities we serve receive excellent care and services that enhance and advance their quality of life.
In alignment with the standards of the Child Welfare League of America, EVOLVE cultivates the ability of our staff and our systems of care to respond respectfully and effectively to people of all cultures, races, ethnic backgrounds, abilities, sexual orientations, gender identities, gender expressions, and faiths in a manner that recognizes, affirms, and values the work of the individuals, families, tribes and communities that protects the dignity of each.
