Riipen’s mission is to create end underemployment by ensuring that every learner has access to authentic experiential learning opportunities to better support their transition into the workforce upon graduation. Key to our mission is that these opportunities should be equally available to all qualified users. For this reason, Riipen does not, and we do not permit users of our platform to unlawfully discriminate against or harass any member of our community, based on nationality, race, ethnicity, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, marital status, or other similarly protected characteristics.
Our community deserves to be respected and feel included, regardless of their backgrounds or personal characteristics. Members should strive to ensure that all others feel welcome and respected. We do not permit any language or conduct that is illegal, threatening, prejudiced, hateful, or unlawfully discriminatory or harassing.
In addition, Riipen itself does not discriminate against any person on any unlawful basis. Educators, employers, and learners are welcomed in our community without regard to protected characteristics, and opportunities on our platform are facilitated in a manner designed to reduce possible unlawful bias or prejudice.
We expect all users to comply at all times with laws concerning discrimination and harassment. Users may not unlawfully discriminate or harass:
When communicating with other Riipen users
When outlining eligibility or requirements on projects
When negotiating payment and other contract terms
When leaving feedback for users upon conclusion of the project
When otherwise working with other users
Users are free to decide on any lawful basis which other users they would like to work with.
