Our Values

Manaakitanga 

Manaakitanga is behavior that acknowledges the mana of others as having equal or greater  importance than one’s own, through the expression of aroha, hospitality, generosity and mutual  respect.  

Justice (Manatika) 

Committed to equity, and seeking dignity for all we will fearlessly advocate with and for those  who are going without.  

Partnership (Rangapū) 

Firstly, the Auckland City Mission recognises the principle of partnership within Te Tiriti O  Waitangi.  

Secondly, our commitment to partnership stems from a belief that manaakitanga, equity and  social justice need to be pursued both within partnerships and through them. For us partnership is characterised by mutual trust, integrity, respect, transparency, and  commitment.
