Vision, Mission and Values


OUR VISION

We envision a diverse community of leaders taking charge of the health of their home, food, and local environment.

OUR MISSION

EJAM works in collaboration with communities to revitalize traditions of caring for the land and of working together to create healthy environments and just, sustainable economies.

OUR CORE VALUES

Our core values and beliefs guide everything we do, large and small.

We:

  • Believe in the inherent right of all peoples to clean air, water, land and other resources necessary to meet their basic needs and live with dignity;
  • Work to reclaim and revitalize the knowledge, values, and traditions of our ancestors that can lead to more sustainable outcomes;
  • Trust in the power of communities to create “authentic,” innovative solutions to the problems they face;
  • Believe that we should be “inclusive” in our work and that everyone has something to contribute and teach;
  • Consider the implications of our decisions on future generations;
  • Recognize our interdependency with each other and the rest of creation;
  • Work inter-generationally across all age groups.
