The Board of Westchester Jewish Community Services embraces the following values:

1. We believe that all people have the right to be treated with fairness, dignity, respect, and compassion. We look for places to advocate on behalf of communities that have not been treated accordingly.
2. We value multiple points of view. We encourage the sharing of various and unique perspectives as they strengthen the Board and our work.
3. We value empathy. We strive to have a non-judgmental understanding of the experiences of all members of our community.
4. We believe in helping to repair the world, derived from the Jewish value of Tikkun Olam. We focus our efforts and resources on addressing the challenges faced by all our Westchester neighbors.
5. We believe that devoting our time and energy will have a positive impact on our communities.
6. We promote philanthropy. Giving, at all levels, provides resources for programs and services that further our mission.
