Our Culture

The following are the values and culture being created both inside our Organization, as well as inside our Network.

WE ARE EXISTENTIALLY QUEER

We unapologetically question and challenge traditional norms and existing conventions.

WE ARE TRANSPARENT & AUTHENTIC AF

There are no unspoken elephants in the room. Transparency is a requirement for us as an organization, and authenticity among our users is paramount. Our org disseminates information freely, and vulnerability (with boundaries) among users is encouraged and supported.

WE ARE MISSION ORIENTED

When making any decision, we ask ourselves: How is this decision in service to NFN’s evolutionary purpose? How will this decision expand and further NFN’s evolutionary purpose?

WE ARE WILLING TO HOLD SPACE

We believe that everything that needs a solution has one…but that not everything needs solving. And we honor the times when there’s nothing to be done but feel.

WE ARE DEEPLY CREATIVE

We have a passionate love affair with raw creativity. We bring this energy to everything we do, especially problem-solving.

WE ARE CONSENT FORWARD

Consent is embedded into every aspect of our Network. We believe consent is Freely given, Reversible, Informed, Enthusiastic, and Specific. Autonomy is foundational.

WE ARE ROOTED IN NONVIOLENCE AND RESTORATIVE JUSTICE

We don’t use force, coercion, manipulation, or control to get things done. We make decisions that are best for the planet, for humanity, and for our souls even if it is not popular, advised, or immediately profitable.

We center community and communal practices while acknowledging and holding space for the individual in their wholeness and in context of the world.
