Staff Qualities
Our participants are taught humility, empathy, awareness of self and others, resourcefulness, resilience, optimism, adaptability and responsibility. Since the very beginning of Manito-wish, these qualities have proven vital to encouraging personal growth and positive transformations. They're the building blocks of character that provide a solid foundation for leadership. Our staff members are expected to exhibit these traits as well as encourage them in our participants.
