Belonging at Bay Cove

People are at the center of the work we do here at Bay Cove Human Services - whether that is the people we serve, the employees that make up our workforce, or the communities we partner with every day. We were founded on the principles that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, and that people should have access to the services they need to help them live the lives they want to live. Our programs have always been designed for the people we serve to be fully immersed in the community—to live, work, and thrive in the places they are comfortable.

Bay Cove is committed to ensuring every person, regardless of their background, has a sense of belonging within our shared community. We continuously work to meet this commitment by ensuring people are treated with fairness, given access, are included, and trust they are being advocated on behalf of.

The values that guide our culture are:

  • Everyone is welcome. Everyone!

  • What makes us unique individually, makes us stronger collectively

  • Discrimination, in any form, has no place here

  • Safety and belonging are at the core of our values—they equip us to thrive

  • By honoring the dignity of each other, everyone is comfortable bringing their authentic selves to work and belonging flourishes

  • First, we listen, then we communicate with empathy, care, and accountability

  • An empowered workforce ignites us to be our best

This is not a project with a start and end point—it’s a continuous journey of reflection, growth, and meaningful action.
