I regard, as my primary obligation, the welfare of the Black individual, family, and community and will engage in action for improving social conditions.
I give precedence to this mission over my personal interest.
I hold myself responsible for the quality and extent of services performed by the agency or organization by which I am employed, as they relate to the black community.
I accept the responsibility to protect the Black community against unethical and hypocritical practice by any individual or organization engaged in social welfare activities.
I stand ready to supplement my paid or professional advocacy with voluntary services in the Black public interest.
I will use my skills as an instrument for social change, with attention to the established Black social institutions.
