Because this program gets funding from the U.S. Department of Education, we need to tell you the following:

  • We cannot treat you differently because of your religion, your beliefs, or if you choose not to follow any religion or religious practices.
  • We cannot make you join in any religious activities (like worship, religious lessons, or trying to convert you) that we might offer. If you do join, it must be completely your choice.
  • We must keep any religious activities that are privately funded separate from activities that are funded by the government.

If you think these rules are being broken, or if you are denied services or benefits, you can report it to the U.S. Department of Education

If you want to know if there are other federally funded organizations that offer the same services in your area, please contact the agency that gave the funding.

We must give you this notice before you sign up for the program or get services unless it's not possible to do so. In that case, we will give you this notice as soon as we can.
