Core Values

 

The Melton Foundation and its Fellows are guided by a set of core values that define who we aspire to be and how we project ourselves in the world:

 

Global Citizenship

We have a duty to mobilize the Foundation and its network to promote the practice of global citizenship through local and global action.
   

Respect

We acknowledge and appreciate cultural differences, and actively nurture in ourselves and in others the ability to understand the world from multiple perspectives.
   

Curiosity

Our passion for learning about different fields, issues, and ideas empowers Fellows to be interdisciplinary thinkers and doers.
   

Trust, 
Responsibility, and Reciprocity

We practice open communication and personal accountability among each other as the basis of a global network of support, learning experiences, and lifelong personal and professional relationships.
