Title VI – Non-Discrimination Policy & Equal Opportunity
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and activities receiving Federal financial assistance. Specifically, Title VI provides that “no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance” (42 U.S.C. Section 2000d).
Jewish Family Services of Washtenaw County is committed to ensuring that no person is excluded from participation in, or denied the benefits of its transit services on the basis of race, color, or national origin, as protected by Title VI in Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Circular 4702.1.A.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Defined
Diversity is a communal practice that honors and respects each individual’s life perspectives, experiences, histories, beliefs, cultures, values and traditions regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, abilities/disabilities, age and socio-economic status and rises above the power structure that supports institutional discrimination which perpetuates societal privilege.
Equity is the presence of fair and equal justice and opportunities for all, including those who are in need. JFS is committed to living/practicing the Jewish value of Tikkun Olam, Repairing the World, by reducing barriers to access for services and resources, being an advocate for under-served and under-represented groups, and ensuring that disparities within the organization and the community are recognized and mitigated or eliminated.
Inclusion provides a welcoming environment that deliberately ensures all who interact with JFS in any capacity feel respected, engaged, valued and heard.
