Understanding

Understanding is the awareness of the unique value, worth, abilities, and potentials of each and every person. Understanding is founded on compassion. All are members of community with rights to affiliation, influence, and participation. Every one has their own values, hopes and dreams. Regardless of ability level, everyone can give, receive, and contribute. Understanding involves listening to what others have to say: their life stories, their jokes, their hopes and dreams, their opinions, and their fears and worries.

Another part of understanding is achievement. San Diego People First encourages all its members to reach their full potential through education, employment, friends and relationships, faith and spirituality, wellness, recreation, hobbies, and special interests.
