Our values: Human rights, autonomy and opportunity for all, collaboration, inclusion. Operationally, they are all inextricably connected. Our motivating beliefs: Stories and storytelling are the foundation of human connection. In a polarized era, they are the only path to reconnection and progress. Young people have perspectives and skillsets that are essential to solutions. We have to engage and support them with opportunities to do meaningful work for a living wage, especially as they have the greatest stake in a livable future. Given the scale and breadth of global crises, collaboration between organizations is essential -- no one can effectively tell stories or build solutions alone. Networks built around aligned values/goals, mutual respect, and trust are the most viable path to progress. Philanthropy should shift resources and power to organizations and networks on the ground who have the expertise and wisdom of dedicated community members. With support for capacity building and networking, relatively small catalytic grants can create value in transformational ways. Our Mission: EMA shifts power and channels resources to our partners as we collaborate to build their capacity, catalyze their network growth, and amplify their stories.
