Ask - Invite - Trust

This is my first week of blogging so I have to apologize if I get a little long winded. The primary purpose of this blog was to introduce the world to The Providence Packers Youth Football and Cheerleading Organization but now I realize it can be so much more than that so I intend to continue updating this blog. I promise that after today, my blogs will be a lot shorter but will reflect our desire to stimulate your thought process and get dialogue moving. With that being said,


ASK > INVITE > TRUST

Three bold verbs that embody what it is that we, as an Organization, are here to accomplish.

We are here to provide a product and service which provides our youth with a compelling reason to turn to the The Providence Packers as one of their primary solutions providers. The Providence Packers Organization is a process innovation that provides a solution to inner city youth that simply want and demand a better quality of life, a better quality of service.

Our strategy is to drive our children to

1. Ask: The Providence Packers Organization for fresh ideas, inspiration and instruction.

2. Invite: The Providence Packers Organization into their lives to be their coach, their personal assistant, their friend.

3. Trust: The Providence Packers Organization to provide solutions that work and exceed expectations.

Ask > Invite > Trust: The desired end result of the commitment by all of our leaders to remain focused on why we are here, what we do and how we will go about our day to day operations. It's a call to action that engages our endless curiosity, our passion, and our drive to be first and best in everything that we do.

OUR PURPOSE (why are we here)

Every organization has to have a reason to exist, a reason that answers the fundamental question of why are we here? While it is true that we are here to teach children the fundamentals of football and cheerleading, this is not our purpose. For The Providence Packers Organization, this big question has a simple answer:

We are here to enhance our children’s life and educational experiences.

We will accomplish this by providing our children with an educational base that will provide the most effective and practical whole product solution for success in any walk of life. Strengthening their opportunities for success will be the added reward of the lasting and impressionable experiences that our children will benefit from when they share the end result of their learning experience with family and friends.

MISSION (what we do)

The Providence Packers Organization is an on-demand sports and lifestyle oriented mentoring organization

Our committed staff will walk our children through the entire life process from start to finish without missing a single step. Our approach will be to deliver positive life experiences and mentoring directly into our children’s lives.

It is important to note that we are not totally a sports driven organization. Our content is developed solely to maximize learning and provide our children with a step by step experience that produces results that work.

Our organization will be instantly recognizable by our high quality, simple, but effective formula. Our name “The Providence Packers” will however be branded as a process innovation, a new way to learn how to live that will provide a compelling alternate to traditional lifestyles that end up a dead end street.

VALUES (How we will get there)

Values are the principles and beliefs that guide the decisions and actions of individuals, cultures and businesses.

For The Providence Packers Organization, our Values are more than just a set of words. The following values reflect the energy and spirit of an organization that has the solid foundation to lead change as the world around us evolves and they articulate a code of behavior that guides us through that change with integrity.

The values reflected here are a call to action that asks every The Providence Packers Organization Board Member, Co-coordinator, Officer, coach, parent and child to commit to a common set of beliefs about how we work in our World today.

Our four corporate values also suggest the most important but simplest reason we exist,

L.I.F.E ! We value the well-being of our children and will try to provide positive learning solutions that provide children with the right tools and information to lead healthier lives

LOYALTY

We are loyal to our children, our affiliates, our parents and the Organization. We are grateful to each and every one of our parents and children for placing their trust in our organization. We are grateful to our affiliates for their commitment to our success and their contributions which continue to move us forward. We are grateful to our recreation department partners for embracing our vision and helping us achieve it. We are grateful to our corporate sponsors and prize their investment capital as if it were our own and will work effortlessly to maximize return on investment for all, not cash but that being successful children who become positive forces in our society.

INTEGRITY

Honesty, Responsibility and Accountability, three guiding fundamentals that govern our quest to be an organization with the highest standard of ethical conduct. We earn the trust of others through consistent honesty, truthfulness and transparency in all our relationships and business transactions. We accept responsibility for success and failure. We take accountability for all of our decisions and actions. We never make excuses for anything or anyone. We were, are and always will be an organization to trust and believe in.

FREEDOM

We inspire to be an open innovative learning organization led with a relentless commitment to understand, anticipate and fulfill the needs of our children. For The Providence Packers Organization, this innovation starts with an invitation to our leaders and staff to imagine, to dream and to do things outside the box. To be creative in all our solutions coupled with empowerment. The solutions developed and implemented by our team(s) are designed and communicated to our children with the goal of instilling confidence and a freedom to achieve which will be inherent in all our offerings. Be informed, Be inspired, Be free.

EVOLUTION

We are an organization led with a passion and commitment for growth and advancement. We set and meet aggressive commitments for self and others. We are willing and free to stretch and exceed the expectations of our children, our leaders and our parents. We are leaders that stimulate new growth and evolve the way in which people learn. And most importantly, we seek out opportunities to lead this change.

Always With Unyielding Integrity!
