It’s your long-term dream—what your community looks like when your work is done.  \nVision Statement Template  \n-What needs to be changed?  \n-Why should this issue be addressed?  \n-What are the strengths and assets in your community?  \n-What would success look like?  \nDraw a picture that depicts your vision: Use descriptive words or phrases that represent the idea, community, or environment you envision.  \n􀂺 Example:  \n“Marshall Area Stage Company will enrich, entertain and educate Southwest Minnesota!”✅ MISSION STATEMENT  \nA mission statement describes your organization’s purpose—what you do, for whom, and how you do it. It connects your day-to-day work to the larger change you want to see.  \nMission Statement Template  \n-Why do you exist? What problem or opportunity are you addressing?  \n-For whom do you do this work? Where do you do it?  \n-How do you address the problem or opportunity?  \n􀂺 Example:  \n“The Merlin Players will strive to provide professional, affordable theatre experiences to audiences throughout southeastern Minnesota.”  \n✅ VALUES STATEMENT  \nYour values are the principles and beliefs that guide your organization’s culture, operations, and decision-making. They define how you work—not just what you do.  \nDefining Your Organizational Values  \nUse the questions below as a starting point for team or board discussion:  \n1. What behaviors do we want to model, reward, and expect—internally and externally?  \n2. When we’ve made our best decisions, what values were reflected in those moments?  \n3. What are we *not* willing to compromise on, even if it costs us funding or partners?  \n4. How do we want people to feel when they interact with our organization?  \n5. Which values do we want to define our team culture and community impact?  \nValues Statement Template  \nList 3–7 core values your organization will commit to practicing. These should be more than buzzwords—add a short phrase to describe what each one means in practice.  \n􀂺 Examples:  \n- Integrity – We do what’s right, even when it’s hard.  \n-Equity – We work to dismantle systemic barriers and center those most impacted.  \n-Collaboration – We believe lasting change happens through shared effort.  \n􀀝 Putting It All Together  \nVision = Your dream of the future Mission = What you do to get there Values = The way you’ll do the work  \nWhen you align all three, you have a strong ethical compass to guide your organization’s growth, decisions, and impact.","cbCaij4f2KUQTbeD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaij4f2KUQTbeD","pdf",167916,"English","# Vision Statement Template\n## What to change and why\n## Community strengths and success\n## Draw your vision\n# Mission Statement Template\n## Purpose and problem addressed\n## Audience and location\n## Approach to the opportunity\n# Values Statement Template\n## Team/board guiding questions\n## Defining 3–7 core values\n# Putting It All Together","[{\"question\":\"What is a vision statement and what should it describe?\",\"answer\":\"A vision statement describes what success looks like for the organization in the future.
