New Hub Mission Statement

1/25/2012

The Hub board of Directors recently went through the process of re-evaluating our mission statement and envisioning our ideal future for this community nonprofit.  It was inspiring to revisit our 16 year old mission.  Here is what we feel we are here for, and why we keep working on this Hub of ours:


The Hub for Sustainable Living is a Santa Cruz resource center for Do-It-Yourself, human-scale technology and an advocate for livable, interconnected communities.  Our projects provide access to space, resources, and educational opportunities through demonstration, outreach , and hands-on learning.  Sustainable Living includes appropriate use of materials (salvage, reclamation, recycling), human-powered transportation (bicycles, skateboards, feet), and skill-building that empowers people to meet their needs in a self-sufficient and affordable manner using second-hand materials and local goods.  We strive to create a diverse, safe, and inclusive environment, and we embrace collective organizing and consensus decision-making.  We seek to shape society around our shared values.

With the new mission statement we have come also to a new name: we are now the

                 Santa Cruz Hub for Sustainable Living!

With this widening of scope we welcome a new project into our organization and the Fabrica sewing collective.
