About
Our Vision
Orion envisions caring, equitable communities where barriers are removed and everyone has access to the resources needed to achieve self-reliance and fully participate in community life.
Our Mission
Orion provides essential resources, guidance, and support at critical moments in people’s lives so they can achieve greater self-reliance and pursue their aspirations with dignity. We strengthen communities and advance equitable access to knowledge, education, and opportunities, partnering with others to dismantle barriers and challenge the systems that sustain inequities.
Our Values
Orion’s work and decisions are guided by a set of shared values that form the acronym REACH.
Respect
We meet people where they are, honoring their dignity, inherent worth, and intersecting identities, delivering culturally responsive services grounded in respect and choice.
Equity
We are intentional, centering those most affected by hardship and systemic injustice. We envision communities where equitable access to resources and opportunities are a lived reality.
Human-Centered Innovation
We seek thoughtful and innovative solutions to meet evolving community needs. We believe those closest to the challenges are closest to the solutions and encourage their input in decision making.
Accountability
We are transparent about our outcomes, listen to those we serve, and learn from their lived experience.
Collaboration
We build trusted partnerships across communities and organizations to coordinate resources, share ideas, and strengthen collective impact.
