Community
COAPPP's work builds on the strengths and capacities of community partners.  COAPPP individualizes its services and approaches to compliment the unique needs and assets of communities, families and individuals.

Excellence in Service
COAPPP will demonstrate excellence to its partners and the public in, but not limited to, ethical communication and responsiveness.  COAPPP's internal and external practices demand quality products, accountability, equity and transparency.

Cultural Competency
COAPPP works effectively and with integrity in cross-cultural settings.  To that end, COAPPP invests resources and time to build knowledge, awareness and sensitivity in its work with communities and individuals from diverse cultures. 

Social Justice
COAPPP recognizes that social and power inequalities are barriers to the positive reproductive and sexual health of teens.  COAPPP promotes social change and systems that tackle the root causes of inequality.  COAPPP's work integrates solutions that offer meaningful opportunities for communities and self-determination for individuals.
