MATTER's Culture:

It is important to consider MATTER's culture of SERVICE before joining the team. Each letter in the word SERVICE represents a value. As a team, we commit this to memory due to its importance in working together for a common goal.  

'S' stands for Stewardship with a tag line, 'to whom much is given, much is required.' Each team member is responsible to actively look for ways to maximize the resources around us.  

'E' represents Enthusiasm with a tag line, 'be inspired and inspire others.' This is about having an eager enjoyment about MATTER's work to the point that other team members and MATTER constituents notice and are inspired to join you.

'R' is for Resourcefulness with a tag line, 'we see the value of what's in our own two hands.' Our founders asked the simple question about what they had in their hands to serve others. They used warehouses to begin a movement that has reached millions of people. We hold this value high as a simple question for all we reach because everyone has something to give and use for the good of others.

'V' is for Voluntary with the tag line, 'we choose to be here.' This means that we view our role in this movement as a privilege. We aren't forced to do this work, we choose to do it willingly. While team members are competitively compensated for their role, it shouldn't be held as a right.

'I' is for Innovation with the tag line, 'we find solutions.' MATTER often needs original and creative thinking to find solutions. In all cases, we need team members who bring a problem-solving attitude. We are more focused on working hard to find solutions than worrying about problems.

'C' is for Caring with the tag line, 'do unto others as you would have them do to you.' This is really about sympathizing and empathizing with our team members, those we serve and anyone we connect with for MATTER. It's about going above and beyond to help others.

'E' is for Entrepreneurial with the tag line, 'we turn sources into resources.' If you can't either think like an entrepreneur or appreciate the thinking of an entrepreneur, MATTER isn't for you.
