Churches"Clarity is Reasonable. Church Clarity is not advocating for policy changes. Together with our Advocates, we're establishing a new standard for church policy disclosure. Churches have a responsibility to be proactively clear about their policies on their primary websites. Anyone can use our crowdsource form to submit a church to be scored. From there, a team of Church Clarity Volunteers follows a simple yet consistent method, assigning a score to each church based on how clearly their website communicates their actively enforced policies. Once the information is triple checked, it's published to our public database." Education"We were started by a history teacher. In 2000, Charles Best, a teacher at a Bronx public high school, wanted his students to read Little House on the Prairie. As he was making photocopies of the one book he could procure, Charles thought about all the money he and his colleagues were spending on books, art supplies, and other materials. And he figured there were people out there who'd want to help — if they could see where their money was going. Charles sketched out a website where teachers could post classroom project requests, and donors could choose the ones they wanted to support. His colleagues posted the first 11 requests. Then it spread. Today, we're open to every public school in America." "Our mission statement: To serve the community by providing certified teams of handlers and animals to work as a therapeutic tool in hospital, schools, long-term care facilities and other appropriate settings."
