Organizational Values

Mirai no Mori Core Values

Our mission to create transformative experiences for marginalized children in Japan is rooted in three core values: Empowering, Embracing, and Believing. These principles guide our programs, shape our interactions, and define our path for the future.

EMPOWERING

At Mirai no Mori, we believe in empowering marginalized children by providing opportunities to develop the mindset and skills needed to make their dreams come true. Through outdoor programs, we create a safe and encouraging environment where campers are empowered to be themselves, face challenges, and grow. Even when setbacks occur, they know they have the chance to come back, try again, and become stronger, unlocking their full potential.

EMBRACING

At Mirai no Mori, we believe in embracing differences and celebrating the growth that comes from new challenges. Each program brings together campers, Leaders in Training (LITs), care workers, and volunteers from diverse backgrounds to create unique experiences and opportunities for learning. In the outdoors, we embrace challenges together, rediscover ourselves in new environments, and work collaboratively toward shared goals. Along the way, we celebrate successes and learn from every step of the journey.

BELIEVING

At Mirai no Mori, we believe in the potential of every child we serve, even when they may not yet believe in themselves. Through our programs, participants are given opportunities to unlock new possibilities, overcome challenges at their own pace, and explore and develop new skills. We provide a supportive and encouraging environment where they can celebrate their achievements and reflect on their failures, turning them into valuable lessons. By fostering this sense of belief, we help children build confidence and discover their ability to create a brighter future for themselves.

Our core organizational values form the foundation of the impact we create at Mirai no Mori. By supporting us as a volunteer, donor, or partner, you become part of a transformative journey: empowering the children to grow into their best selves, embracing the uniqueness of every individual, and believing in their limitless potential to achieve their dreams.
