A little more about what we do here at FDR...
A Founding Story
UBUNTU
Ubuntu also conveys the idea that a person cannot be complete if others do not enjoy full humanity. The spirit of Ubuntu resonates so strongly that if one group within society is denied its humanity, then no individual in that society can fully realize his or her own humanity. The urgency to change this injustice becomes paramount.
We can put the spirit of Ubuntu – respect, human dignity, compassion, and community – to work in our daily lives through our interactions with others, from greeting others as we pass them in hallways or on the street, to ensuring that all segments of society are included in social welfare policies so that each person has the means to lead a life of dignity. Ubuntu has the power to help us build an inclusive, respectful, and vibrant community, nation and world.
Team Value of the Month
Belief in the Power of Young People
We are committed to harnessing one of the most powerful forces for positive change at work in the world today.
The energy and idealism of young people are the two the most powerful and transformative forces at work in the world today. From advancing civil rights in the United States, to helping end segregation in South Africa, to promoting democracy in the Middle East, the dedication of young people in our world is moving mountains. At City Year, we’re committed to tapping this power and using it to help spur change in the lives of the students and communities we serve. In the process, we’re striving to help foster a generation of empowered, experienced, effective, and idealistic leaders. Because our experience has shown that when you give young people big goals, they inevitably surpass the highest of expectations to achieve extraordinary results.
