It is an institution’s commitment to seek the truth and engage in moral action, despite unpleasantness, risk, and short-term cost. It is a pledge to protect and care for those who depend on the institution. It is a compass oriented to the common good of individuals, institutions, and the world. It is a force that transforms institutions into more accountable, equitable, effective places for everyone.

“Abuse by families, schools, employers and nations will only be healed by the institutional courage to transform into equitable places for us all. That's the job and the genius of the Center for Institutional Courage.”
