  • Our Vision, Mission and Values

Our Vision, Mission and Values

Vision

A society which embraces diversity, celebrates connected communities, and has equitable employment opportunities for all.

Mission

To create a nourishing, supportive and inclusive space for trainees to gain confidence, skills, knowledge and networks. To foster connections in the hospitality industry to create equitable employment opportunities.

Values

Quality & Pride

Scarf training sessions, dinners and events are top quality. Trainees, trainers, mentors, staff, board members, restaurant partners, sponsors and diners are all proud to be part of Scarf.

Equity

We acknowledge that the current system does not afford everyone the same opportunities. We strive to change this, so that all young people have equitable access to training and employment.

Respect & Togetherness

Whilst respecting that each Scarf trainee has their own aspirations, goals and dreams, we value togetherness and what we can achieve as a team.

Fun

We believe in the importance of hard work and fun in equal measure.

Partnerships

We use our privileged position to form purposeful partnerships in the community sector, the hospitality industry, and beyond.

Possibility & Opening Doors

We see potential in every individual and strive to create meaningful change for all participants.

Humility

We’re proud of our important work, but try not to take ourselves too seriously all the time. We’re grateful for the support we receive, large or small.
