Mission statement: Rooted in Polish heritage for over a century, PAA advances today’s diverse immigrant communities.

 

CORE VALUES

We believe that:

  • Each client of PAA is a unique individual with different concerns and abilities and shall be treated with dignity, respect, and trust
  • PAA programs and services shall assist in the empowerment of people as individuals so that they may reach their full potential in all aspects of their lives
  • PAA programs and services shall be most effective when a holistic approach is taken to individual needs
  • PAA shall make every effort to respond to the unmet and well researched needs within the immigrant communities by providing programs and services not available elsewhere
  • PAA shall advocate on behalf of those within the diverse immigrant communities who may not be able to speak for themselves
  • PAA shall foster linkages and collaborative efforts with other human service agencies
