With the inclusion of a more specific delineation of our beliefs in the bylaws, I’d like to propose that we also include a more direct statement about accessing our services.

Article 3: Guiding Principles and beliefs for Clearwater Ministries Inc.

The motivational roots of Fairbanks Youth Advocates lie in the teaching of Jesus Christ, which are central to who we are and what we do as an organization. How one’s “faith” is lived out in practical ways is the true definition of belief.

Proposed inclusion to Article 3

“Fairbanks Youth Advocates provides its services to all youth regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, gender, disability, religion, or sexual orientation. We respect and honor the human dignity of all people. Under no circumstances is it required or expected that an individual believe a certain way to access or receive services. We accept all as they are, however they are.”

Please vote on whether we should ad this proposed inclusion to Article 3 in our bylaws.
