MyPath External Stakeholder Code of Conduct

MyPath’s mission is to transform lives. We rely on our five core Beliefs and Behaviors to support this effort.

To carry out our mission, we employ and serve people who represent a variety of characteristics and identities. Every one of those members of the MyPath community is valuable. We strive to create an environment where those who differ in age, ability, race, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, religion, sexual orientation, size, socio-economic status, veteran status, and other characteristics nevertheless prosper together through shared values and goals.

We collaborate with stakeholders who help us achieve this mission. Our extended community holds a shared responsibility to treat everyone with dignity and respect at all times and to create an environment where everyone can thrive.

Accordingly, any person, family, or entity that engages with MyPath is expected to demonstrate inclusive and respectful behaviors in every interaction with MyPath. This includes activity and comments posted on social media or shared with other external stakeholders. It also includes direct personal interactions during MyPath provision of services.

This Code sets forth the standards we expect our stakeholders to follow. It is not intended to reduce, replace, or limit any legal or contractual obligations that stakeholders may owe to MyPath. Since it is impossible to predict and describe every situation, stakeholders should follow this Code in both spirit and letter.

MyPath takes seriously any failure to meet the expectations set out in this Code. We may decide no longer to do business with any person, family, or entity that fails to follow it.

Paragon Community Services is a wonderful program. WE LOVE IT.

My daughter Machaela is always happy and excited when the Paragon van picks her up. She loves going out in the community, on daily outings they keep her busy! I even have friends that see her out that comment how happy she was when they see her.

The staff is just THE BEST! Very caring, fun, and keep us updated if any issues.

We truly love Paragon and feel we are all family.
