OUR VALUES

Partnership

We know that we’re better together than alone. Partnership means valuing others’ voices, recognizing our strengths, and collaborating for collective impact and the common good. Partnership is a strength multiplier and how we scale our impact.

 

Equity

Our vision is a more equitable California, harnessing the creativity, problem-solving, and ingenuity of all its people to lead the nation and the world. Equity is the key that unlocks our potential and allows us to thrive.

Innovation

California’s innovative spirit shines from Silicon Valley to Hollywood and everywhere in between. By connecting personal, public, and private sectors, we can devise innovative solutions to our most complex challenges.

OUR MISSION

In partnership with the people of California, California Partners Project champions gender equity across the state and ensures our state’s media and technology industries are a force for good in the lives of all children.
