In fulfilling its mission, SELF strives to perform the following roles at the highest standards of excellence:

Clients have called SELF "a bridge"​ to self-sufficiency and "an anchor in a storm."​ SELF strives to uphold the original mission of community action as established in President Lyndon Johnson's "War on Poverty"​ in the mid-60s - "a hand-up not a hand-out."​ SELF emphasizes employment and education and works to lessen the barriers for low-income families to obtain and maintain self-sufficiency.
