Our Vision

Each year the Dear Em Leadership Team explore what their vision is for Dear Em, and collaboratively develop a vision that everyone can connect to and work towards throughout the year. Revisiting our Team Vision each year offers us the opportunity to add in new perspectives, ideas and learnings, as well as reflect on how our vision served us the year before.

Dear Em’s name includes the reflection of ME, by which we aim for young women and gender diverse people to see their lived-experiences reflected in our vision  and have a sense of belonging .

Young people experience Dear Em as a presence that ignites their inner change and outward action through raising awareness, developing connections, creating political action, learning about choices, and building community. 

We aim to encourage and create a world where relationships are built and sustained through Dear Em’s values of empower, empathise, and embrace.
