<p align="left">Begun in 1977 by a local doctor and other community members concerned about the lack of services available to at-risk youth, DIAL/SELF has consistently provided outreach, advocacy, and residential services to area teens for the past 37 years. </p>
<p align="left"><span class="ParaHead">Guiding Principles</span><br />
In order to safely make the transition from childhood to adulthood, youth need effective social skills, clear and consistent boundaries, marketable skills, caring support, high expectations and opportunities for meaningful participation and contribution. Youth are more likely to make the journey to adulthood unscathed when there are caring adults actively serving as guides, providing safe havens, and fostering self-awareness, self-worth, self-discipline and self-motivation. While recognizing that it is impossible to guarantee teens a completely “safe passage” from childhood to adulthood, DIAL/SELF does seek to provide youth with the support and guidance that they need to become healthy, independent and productive citizens who are meaningfully engaged in their communities.</p>
<p align="left">The <strong>Mission</strong> of DIAL/SELF is to provide a broad range of services that foster youth empowerment by meeting basic needs, by creating opportunities for youth, by advocating for youth interests, and by enhancing the quality of life within the communities we serve.</p>
<p align="left">The <strong>Philosophy </strong>of <strong></strong>DIAL/SELF embraces the principles inherent in the <em>Positive Youth Development </em>framework, and believes that all youth possess unique strengths, which are enhanced by community support and collaboration and that all youth should have the right to exercise choice in their own lives.<strong></strong></p>
<p align="left">The <strong>Core Values</strong> of DIAL/SELF include:<br />
<em><strong><br />
Collaboration</strong></em> — We work collaboratively with youth, with each other, and with our community to make the most of our combined resources.<br />
<br />
<em><strong>Respect</strong></em> — We demonstrate respect through active listening, responsiveness, and inclusion of diverse perspectives.<br />
<br />
<em><strong>Innovation</strong></em> — We develop and implement creative programs in response to community needs.<br />
<br />
<em><strong>Accountability</strong></em> — We hold ourselves accountable to high ethical, administrative, programmatic, and fiscal standards.</p>
<p><span class="ParaHead">Vision</span><br />
Youth will be healthy, well-educated, gainfully employed, adequately housed, meaningfully engaged and valued in their communities. </p>
