Mission and Values

Our Mission

NARIX’s mission is to shape the future of rope, by empowering inclusive collaboration within local and national rope communities across North America.

Our Values

These are the values that underlie the space we aim to build, the culture we aim to foster, and all of the decisions that we make.

Community & Collaboration: 

• We prioritize building strong bonds within our community, centering consideration of others and fostering a culture of unity and support.

• Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do; we actively seek out opportunities to work together, leveraging the collective wisdom and expertise of our peers.

• We believe that as a community, we are more resilient and capable when we have strong relationships with one another. We respect and appreciate each other deeply.

Accountability & Transparency: 

• We hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity, taking ownership of our actions and making decisions through the lens of our ethics and values first and foremost.

• Transparency is key to building trust; we communicate openly and clearly, sharing information freely, being honest about our mistakes, and welcoming feedback.

• We are committed to learning from our past, continuously improving, and holding ourselves and each other accountable to our commitments and responsibilities.

Accessibility & Inclusivity: 

• We are dedicated to creating an environment where everyone feels welcome, valued, and respected, regardless of background, identity, or ability.

• Accessibility is a priority in everything we do, from our events to our programs to our organization; we strive to remove barriers and ensure equal access for all.

• Inclusivity is not just a goal but a fundamental value that informs our decision-making processes, driving us to proactively seek out and actively amplify diverse voices and perspectives.
