SOOCI · OUR MISSION & VALUES

Step outside.
Stand together.

We believe confidence grows when you try something new—and community grows when you make room for someone else.

What we stand for ↓

OUR MISSION

Bring people together.
Build confidence.
Strengthen communities.

SOOCI’s mission is to bring people together, build confidence, and strengthen communities by creating opportunities to step outside your comfort zone, form meaningful connections, and give back to the people around you.

Apparel is one way to support that work. Showing up for a run, volunteering your time, or welcoming someone new is another.

OUR VALUES

Beliefs we
put into practice.

These are the standards we want to bring to the products we create, the events we host, and the way we treat people.

01

Community

Make room for people. A strong community starts with a welcome, grows through shared experiences, and keeps showing up for its members.

IN PRACTICE Introduce yourself. Bring a friend. Help someone feel included.
02

Courage & growth

Take the first step, even when it feels unfamiliar. Progress can mean joining your first run, sharing an idea, or trying something you once avoided.

IN PRACTICE Start where you are. Encourage effort. Celebrate progress.
03

Service

Care for the people and places around you. We want our community to be known for lending a hand as well as pursuing its own goals.

IN PRACTICE Give your time. Notice a need. Find a practical way to help.
04

Discipline & ambition

Follow through on what matters. Meaningful goals take consistent effort, patience, and people who encourage you to keep going.

IN PRACTICE Show up consistently. Keep learning. Do the work.
05

Authenticity & creativity

Bring your own perspective. Students, athletes, artists, and entrepreneurs each have something different to contribute to what we are building.

IN PRACTICE Be yourself. Share ideas. Create with purpose.
06

Faith & respect

Christian values are part of SOOCI’s foundation. We aim to express them through care, humility, and respect, while welcoming people of every background.

IN PRACTICE Listen with care. Treat people with dignity. Make room for questions.

OUR VISION

A stronger community.
One connection at a time.

We want to create more opportunities across Wisconsin for people to grow, serve, and build together. Every purchase helps fund future events and experiences—and every person who shows up helps give them meaning.
