Our Principles & Values
Our principles
Our actions are aimed at meeting the needs of Nunavik youth.
TransparencyWe are always seeking to improve. As such, we constantly challenge ourselves to meet set objectives. We value a culture of continuous feedback and we admit our mistakes. We share the intentions behind each decision openly. We consolidate our knowledge and skills and place value on continuing education.
IntegrityWe are honest with our donors, our partners, the program participants, and their communities. Our financial demands are honest and our spending transparent. We never forget that the survival of our organization depends on the voluntary investment of dozens of actors. We acknowledge this fact at each step.

SafetyOur programming takes place in a vast and isolated land with many risks, so the management and prevention of those risks are a priority. We set high standards for our team leaders and guides and maintain small guide/participant ratios. We make no compromises on safety.
Inuit cultureWe work with Inuit youth on their ancestral land. Naturally, respecting Inuit culture is at the core of what we do: each one of our decisions is made with Inuit culture in mind, and when it comes time to reflect, we value the input of community members.

Our values and beliefs
It is not enough to be simply involved; we must commit. Only through the sincere and profound commitment of all actors is it possible to reach a goal. Participants commit to being successful. Team leaders and guides must commit to their work; the coordination team and volunteers are committed to their given tasks; relatives and friends must commit to supporting participants. And finally, the community and partners have to commit to the program’s success.
We believe a team is stronger than its individual members. We progress together, as a group, in solidarity.
We believe it is important to focus on the potential of Nunavik youth in order to foster their empowerment: to develop and self-determine, to improve their personal, social, and environmental situation in life.
We want to build on the strengths and successes of Nunavik youth. We want to push them to see the positive sides of their actions and showcase their accomplishments.
We believe the future of Nunavik lies with its youth, and for that reason we invest in their development, to help them create positive social change.
