An environment in which you and each of your teammates can be and feel safe (physically, psychologically, and emotionally), can only exist if each individual within is committed to its formation and protection.

 

Our goals are extraordinary—in order to achieve them, so must be the sense of safety we feel among each other.

We are focused on what we can give, not what’s in it for us.

 

Donating our time, talent, and funds is not just what we do, it’s how we show our love to our community and each other.

 

We are charitable first, and cheerleaders second.

CHEER Colorado has developed a sterling reputation and earned our community’s trust by being dependable, reliable, and keeping our commitments. This reputation was built—and will either be maintained or eroded—by a series of tiny, seemingly individual decisions. 

 

You, and your decisions, are CHEER Colorado.

Our volunteers are looked to as ambassadors of CHEER Colorado, the State of Colorado, the Pride Cheerleading Association, and the LGBTQIA+ community.

 

We actively and continuously work to earn the respect of our fellow volunteers, the groups we represent, and the public at large—whether in front of audiences of thousands or when no one is looking.

We spread joy and positivity with intention: recognizing, celebrating, and encouraging the exploration and expression of people’s authentic selves.

 

In our interactions with each other, with those outside the organization, and with ourselves, we model the welcoming, kind, and accepting behavior that will make CHEER Colorado the home—and the family—that people choose.
