Title IX: Prohibiting Sex-Based Discrimination

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”) is a federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in all educational programs and activities, including athletic programs. No person shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity operated by Read With Me Volunteer Programs. Title IX protects all participants in Read With Me Volunteers's educational programs and activities, including students, parents, employees, and job applicants. Read With Me Volunteer Programs does not discriminate on the basis of sex, including discrimination based on sex stereotypes, sex characteristics, pregnancy or related conditions, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Discrimination on the basis of sex can include sexual harassment and sexual violence.

Please review our Title IX training materials released on May 6, 2020.
