Values
ScoutSeven is driven by a deep commitment to social change. We believe in empowering leaders and organizers on the front lines of the social change movement, and in strengthening the movement's ties, collaborations and sense of community.
We believe that effective use of technology increases organizational effectiveness, dramatically impacting the social change sector's capacity to thrive and grow.
At the same time, we view technology as one potential component of an integrated organizational strategy, not the strategy itself. We aim to leverage technical innovation for maximum impact, while always maintaining this perspective.
Tools follow strategy. Let's keep it real, connected to our real-world lives, and in service of building a strong and sustainable movement for change.
