Inclusion in Worship

Inclusion Representatives

With the approval of their religious leader Inclusion Representatives assist their congregation's to welcome worshippers of all abilities. Inclusion Representatives organize Inclusion Committees, raise awareness to the need for accommodations, and coordinate participation in events such as Inclusion Awareness Day. Congregations of all faith traditions are invited to appoint a volunteer Inclusion Representative to coordinate their inclusion efforts.

Pathways Awareness Foundation is currently coordinating the efforts of over 196 Inclusion Representatives in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago.

Inclusion Representatives of all denominations are invited to participate in the Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors program and the annual Inclusion Representative Gatherings.
