Since we founded Compass just a few years ago, we’ve always been keenly aware that there was something special binding the members of the Compass Community together. And yet, we’ve always had great difficulty articulating exactly what that special something was. To really understand it, you still just have to experience what it’s like to be a part of this fantastic community.
But we know that those of you observing us from beyond our community and those of you interested in joining want to know what, exactly, we’re doing here at Compass, and why we love it so much. So we put a lot of thought into the best way to communicate the feelings and excitement of our community, as well as what we stand for. The more we thought about it, the more we realized that what really unites us here at Compass is our shared set of values.
It’s nothing we ever planned or wrote down before. Our values and the close-knit nature of our community, our Compass Family, just sort of happened to come together. We’re forming incredible connections and meaningful relationships among young social entrepreneurs worldwide. These are relationships that we believe are making the world a better place, and will continue to do so as our community grows. And so, our Values Document is our best attempt to capture the spirit of this community in words. Let us know what you think!

That graphic is sick. That is all.
Thanks, dude!
It’s hard to capture what’s so unique, and powerful, about the Compass approach. Thanks for putting these into writing!
