SALTS will not tolerate discrimination on the basis of race, colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, family status, or any other protected ground. Where a position is integral to the fulfillment of SALTS’ primary Christian spiritual purpose, SALTS requires adherence to the Christian religion. SALTS’ primary spiritual purpose is stated in our constitution: “to develop the spiritual… potential of young people…in a Christian environment” through primary means that include “to advance, teach, and model spiritual growth and beliefs associated with the Christian faith.” As such, our volunteer Board members, Executive Director, professional crew-members (who are our program leaders), and some of our staff members are Christians who hold beliefs consistent with the Apostles’ Creed. All employees must respect, value, and support the mission of the Society. Advancement of Christian faith is not the only aim of SALTS, and it is pursued in a way that is respectful, welcoming, non-coercive and non-judgmental of program participants from all walks of life and beliefs.
