Mission + Vision + Values
Our Mission:
The mission of MARCO is to educate, advocate, and mobilize resources to grow the community-based recovery movement across Minnesota.
Our Vision:
We envision a robust, recovery-oriented care system in Minnesota, fueled by a strong network of Recovery Community Organizations, where all individuals seeking or maintaining recovery can easily access the services they need to thrive.
Our Values:
The Power of Recovery Community Organizations
We believe powerful RCOs build a recovery-oriented society. MARCO helps RCOs develop their power.
Fidelity to the Recovery Community Organization Model
We believe that the RCO model safeguards the integrity of recovery work. MARCO helps RCOs understand and implement the model in their community.
Agency with Accountability
We believe that when RCOs work independently within clear accountability standards, they can meet their local community’s needs.
Community through Collaboration
We believe the Recovery Community was born of close collaboration toward shared goals. MARCO connects RCOs, supporters, and community organizations into a resilient recovery ecosystem.
Diversity and Inclusion
We know that the people and their experiences in recovery are diverse. We believe that more people recover when RCOs honor and support the diversity of people and experiences in recovery.
