Our Mission
The Maine Irish Heritage Center demonstrates the arts, culture, and spirit of the Irish and brings the story of the Irish and the Irish diaspora to life. MIHC is a place to gather and a philosophy that extends beyond our storied walls. We create opportunities for all to connect, learn, and celebrate culture with our welcoming and vibrant community.
We recognize that we’re stronger together and work with members, partners, and the community at large to bring our vision to life. We are collaborative and team-oriented in how we go about our work.
We are reliable and ethical in our dealings with others, use best and promising practice tools and methods, and hold ourselves to high standards of professional conduct. We are timely and open in our communications and transparent about our actions and intentions.
We consistently implement the nonprofit sector's best and promising practices of governance and operations. We stay current with the latest developments in the field, learn from our own experiences and the experiences of other organizations like ours, seek and act upon diverse perspectives, try new things, build on what works, remain adaptable and make adjustments.
