Principles values
- Commitment: collaborative effort with communities and individuals in Puerto Rico. This entails the search for solutions to the needs of citizens to live with dignity, respect and equity.
- Solidarity: promote coexistence among all human beings, regardless of gender, their cultural background or their human group of belonging. Being supportive implies showing respect for others, mutual support and interdependence.
- Social Justice: According to Peñaranda (2015), it is the historical process that seeks to guarantee the conditions of a sociocultural and individual nature that allow all human beings to lead a dignified life, in which they are assured of opportunities for the realization of their needs, aspirations and interests, and thus deploy their potential.
- Sustainability: focus efforts taking into account the social, environmental and public dimension.
- Proactivity: responsibility to make things happen
