Nondiscrimination Policy

Reflection Riding believes that equal opportunity is important for the continuing success of our organization, our staff and volunteer team, and the community we serve. For many years, Reflection Riding has had a nondiscrimination policy in place, which is far broader than a Title 6 policy. Below is that policy, which was updated in March 2023:

We intend to comply with all laws which preclude discrimination because of race, disability, color, creed, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, military status, and any other protected classification, including people with limited English proficiency. This policy applies to all our activities, including but not limited to, employment, selection of volunteers, purchasing, and selecting vendors or consultants. Reflection Riding defines discrimination to include, but not necessarily be limited to, the denial of services, employment, or volunteer opportunities to any class of individuals in a manner that negatively restricts opportunities to that class of individuals. To report an issue or problem under this policy, please contact the Managing Director.
