Which of the Salvations Army’s values do you identify with the most?

"As a native of the Chicagoland area, I am extremely excited about the work of the Blue Island Salvation Army in the community. When I looked at the chapter's values, I felt most connected to the words 'passionate' and 'brave.' In my opinion, these two values represent the Chicagoland community, which has wielded its passion and bravery to come together and persevere during difficult times. I have learned from this example over the years, and now I want to give back by applying these same values to working with the Salvation Army."

"I have spent my entire career working as a rehabilitation counselor in downtown Vancouver's eastside area. In that time, I have seen the struggles people face with alcohol and drug addiction and guided them through the recovery process. The work of rehabilitation is not just individual--it takes a supportive community with accessible resources. As this is such a pervasive problem in the area, I was pleased to see the Salvation Army Harbour Light emphasize 'relevance' and 'co-operation' under its list of values, as these are essential in effectively rehabilitating individuals and communities."

Once you have identified the chapter's values, pick one or two of them and talk about how you connect to them professionally and/or personally. Tell the interviewer why you think the values you discuss are important to the specific community you would be serving.
