ONE AND ONLY ONE PRIORITY- At Realworld we have only one mission, to improve the lives of those children who find themselves at the farthest reaches of American society.  With the Gargoyle Project we offer them love, support, and long term commitments.  With Somatic Integrity we provide them with skills to help deal with the hand they’ve been dealt.  We have no secondary political or social agenda.  Period.  If you want to help, we want you to help.   OUR DIVERSITY STATEMENT- The need is great and no group has a monopoly on caring.  We enthusiastically accept help and volunteers from ALL communities.  Everyone is welcome: all races, colors and creeds; all religions and philosophies; left wing, right wing, liberal or conservative; straight, gay, lesbian, transgender or unsure; tattooed, pierced or in a suit; monogamous or poly amorous; biker, stripper or accountant.  Well, you get the idea.  All that matters to us is if you have an open heart and the willingness to use it. We expect all volunteers to have good boundaries when working with our clients.  Your lifestyle or religion may be important to you but it should never be shared with a child regardless of whether you’re a professional dominatrix or an devout Christian.   A SPECIAL NOTE TO THE FRINGE- We’d like to make a specific effort to reach out to groups that are not normally associated with children’s charities.  Members of the sex positive community, the BDSM community, bikers, martial arts fighters, etc.  We know that your ability for caring and commitment are equal to anyone.  You are welcome here in any capacity. THE EXCEPTION- We will not accept help from any individual or group looking to abuse or exploit the children we serve.  All our volunteers must undergo a full background check, Livescan, and interview process.  Child abuse, domestic violence or association with abusers will disqualify you without exception.  And if you’re thinking of trying to use us to get close to kids for inappropriate reasons, you may get your ass kicked.
