Mission, Vision, and Values

Maine Inside Out’s mission is to ignite collective creativity and inspire social action by engaging youth and adults impacted by systemic oppression to create and share original theater. 

MIO envisions communities and systems that see each person’s humanity, our shared connection, and our place in the natural world. Our vision is to transform a culture of punishment and isolation to one that thrives in connection, dignity and accountability. 

MIO values are trust, consistency, creativity, connection, love, and purpose.
