Mission Statement
The UBA: Community Service and Development Program seeks to support, strengthen, and empower individuals and families through a broad continuum of community-based services that meet the needs and values of the community. The agency is guided by a commitment to individual dignity, service excellence, accountability, volunteerism and belief in the solidarity of the human family.
The mission statement of The UBA: Community Service and Development Program describes who we are, our fundamental purpose, and our role in the community. It expresses not only the specific ways in which we address the conditions of poverty, but an understanding that the way in which we go about doing so has a deep and lasting impact.
Hope is created when we provide resources in a compassionate and dignified way. Opportunity is created when we invest in the skills and power residing in individuals and groups. Action is created when we organize volunteers, leaders, institutions to work together to act on both individual and societal levels in pursuit of a community free from poverty.
