Regardless of race, gender, religion or geographic location, we value people, believing that every man, woman and child possesses dignity, is worthy of respect and Godly love.

We are deeply connected with the Youngstown community’s children, parents, families, and our surrounding residents. We commit to allowing their needs to guide our work, and to provide quality childcare, special needs development, counseling, and work toward solutions to eliminate structural and systemic inequalities that contribute to food insecurity to help them thrive.

We foster an environment that enhances the spiritual, social, emotional, and physical wellbeing of young children, residents with special needs, widows, parents, and their families, while also making our community a safer place to live.

We strive to recognize and understand the life perspectives, feelings, and lived experiences of others, including and especially those most different from ourselves, and to give grace and love to one another.

We are passionate and tireless in pursuit of our mission to reach Youngstown with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and helping children, families, and the underprivileged to provide childcare, special needs development, and biblically based guidance through all obstacles.

We hold ourselves and one another responsible for ensuring Steel Valley Outreach Center maximizes its impact, and we do what we say we will do.

We treat challenges as learning opportunities, and continually evolve to meet the needs of the children, students, families, and surrounding residents we work with based on what we learn.

We center the love of God and our neighbor to prioritize the wellbeing of the children, students, and families we work with in every decision we make and every action we take.
