NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY

It is the policy of CHOICE EMPOWERS SERVICES LLC to provide support, conduct business, accept referrals, and engage in employment actions with all persons without regard to race, color, national origin, religious creed, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, age or disability. No person shall be excluded from participation in, or be denied the benefits of, any service or be subjected to discrimination because of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, age, or disability.

Program services shall be made accessible to eligible persons, applicants, and staff with disabilities through the most practical and economically feasible methods available. Reasonable accommodation will be made for qualified applicants/staff with a disability that will enable an equal opportunity to participate in the application process and to be considered for a job. These methods include, but are not limited to, the provision of aides and the use of alternative service delivery locations. Structural modifications shall be considered only as a last resort among available methods.

Choice Empowers will provide free aids and services to people with disabilities to communicate effectively with us, such as:

• Written information in other formats (large print, audio, accessible electronic formats, and other formats)
• Information written in other languages.

If you need assistance, you may contact Choice Empowers at 585-880-2392 to speak to a manager who will provide further directions. You may also send an email to info@choicempowers.org
