After you have developed an understanding of the Isaiah 117 organizational mission and activities, consider the requirements of a well-defined Code of Ethics.
A Code of Ethics provides the opportunity for an entity to formally declare the principles that will be used to guide organizational decisions and operations.  In a nonprofit setting, the Code of Ethics provides all stakeholders with a statement of the organization’s values that will be used to guide activities.
Look at samples for additional guidance:
The link below provides a more detailed description of a Code of Ethics along with sample and additional resources.  Please use these materials to better identify the spirit and format of your deliverable.  If you have questions, please let me know.

Additional Tips for Student Success:
* We do not have a specific word count for this assignment.  However, most Codes of this nature range between 1,000 and 1,500 words.  If you find yourself significantly under or over these thresholds, you may want to make sure you are on the correct path.
* Do not fill your code of conduct with legal jargon.  An effective code should use clear, active language with short sentences.
* The organization and layout should be attractive with sufficient white space.  Headers, bullet points, and different font sizes can be inviting (but not too much😊).  Do not create a code that looks like a legal document.
* Do not attempt to cover every possible ethical issue.  Focus on the issues of highest importance for Isaiah 117.  The sample Codes should help provide assistance in this area.
* Do not cut and paste Code sections from an existing organization or any other existing document.  If uncited, this is plagiarism.  If cited, this does not meet the assignment requirements.
