Mission

The mission of Quest Atlantis is to support children in developing their own sense of purpose as individuals, as members of their communities, and as knowledgeable citizens of the world. We care about supporting the development of healthy people, healthy communities, and a healthy world with the goal of making the world a better place. The QA project will foster an awareness of seven critical dimensions in order to actualize them in the lives of children:

  • Creative Expression - "I Create"
  • Diversity Affirmation - "Everyone Matters"
  • Personal Agency - "I Have Voice"
  • Social Responsibility - "We Can Make a Difference"
  • Environmental Awareness - "Think Globally, Act Locally"
  • Healthy Communities- "Live, Love, Grow"
  • Compassionate Wisdom - "Be Kind"
Collectively, these dimensions characterize Cultures of Enrichment and aim to enhance the lives of children while aiding in the formation of knowledgeable, responsible, and empathetic adults. Through participation in Quest Atlantis, members will come to value their own communities and to recognize not only that their communities value them but that they have important ways to contribute in their communities and in the world.
