We value understanding, mutual respect, inclusion, and acceptance. These principles and values reflect FFT's wider mission and strategic approach, and help define our team's culture. We are a diverse team, and support social liberation, anti-racist principles, and community-driven solutions. We also have a dog who joins us for a day here and there (he's part time).
