Thee Quaker Project

THEE QUAKER PROJECT is a start-up Quaker media organization focused on lifting up stories of spiritual courage and giving Quakers a platform online. We seek to create entertaining, well-crafted, profound content and to build a worldwide audience composed of spiritual seekers, lifelong Quakers, and everyone in between. As a team, we are guided by the following values, which support us as creators and build our team culture to meet the challenges and opportunities of 21st century media.

1. Ensemble Narrative – we believe that when answering difficult spiritual questions, no one individual has the whole answer. Therefore we find that the thread of truth emerges once a diversity of voices has been heard;
2. Invitation to Courage – our interviewees are at their most powerful when invited to speak from a deeply grounded, honest place. We seek to build a staff culture that invites and encourages this grounded truth-speaking, in what we publish and in our work with one another; 
3. Playfulness – we lean into opportunities for joy and humor, in what we publish online and in our culture;
4. Transparency – with our listeners and readers and among our staff, board, and other stakeholders;
5. Learning, Experimentation & Adaptation – the internet media landscape is constantly evolving. We seek out ways to experiment, stay nimble, and adapt to new trends;
6. Nurture Talent – we believe in the staff we’ve hired and invest in supporting them to learn and grow in ways that enliven them and follow their passion. We know that creative work can lead to burnout, and seek to provide opportunities to rest and recharge.
