About Us
Basta’s Values
Our values - what we know, what we believe, and how we act - guide us in making difficult decisions, differentiate us from other non-profits, our ideals when we hire, promote or transition from the organization, and are right for right now.
At Basta, we know…
● #Firstgenmagic isn’t just a hashtag - it's what Basta fellows and their first gen peers offer their future employers.
First generation college goers of color aren’t just qualified; they bring unique and necessary value to the workforce.
● Our current employment gap is largely a function of systemic racism.
The gap will continue to widen if we focus exclusively on skill development rather than eradicate the racist practices that exclude people of color from the job pipeline.
At Basta, we believe…
● Thoughtful solutions are centered on individuals AND enacted through systems. While wide scale change will be achieved through systems, we'll be most successful when we keep the individual and their unique strengths, drivers, and experiences at the center of our work.
● Lasting solutions are co-created by impacted people and institutions.
Change happens when young people, employers, and educators design solutions together, with the support of organizations and individuals who are ready to back their ideas with resources.
At Basta, we act…
● We adapt & iterate quickly to find what works, but we don’t reinvent the wheel. We use a partnership lens to drive our work and we know what is -- and isn’t-- our expertise.
● We are honest with ourselves, each other, young people, employers, partners, and funders even when it's hard.
We seek shared understandings of root cause because we know this is what systemic change requires and young people deserve.
and we’re looking for passionate team players to help us scale.
