Ensured all videos, audio, and files on the site are accessible

Declaration of Partial Compliance With the Standard Due to Third-Party Content

The accessibility of certain pages on the site depend on contents that do not belong to the organization, and instead belong to Facebook, as one example.. The following pages are affected by these 3rd party organizations. We therefore declare partial compliance with the standard for these pages.

Contact Page

Form fields have visible, programmatically associated labels.
The form can be completed using a keyboard alone.
Errors are identified in text, and instructions do not rely on color or shape alone.
Phone numbers and email addresses are presented as selectable, machine-readable text.

Images include descriptive alternative text; decorative images are marked so they are skipped by screen readers.
Links use descriptive text rather than "click here" or bare URLs.
Posts use real headings and lists rather than visual formatting alone, so structure is available to assistive technology.
Any embedded video or audio is accompanied by captions or a transcript.

Blog Page

Despite our efforts, some content may not yet be fully accessible. Known areas we are working to improve include [describe any known issues — for example, third-party embeds, older blog posts, or PDF documents — or remove this section if none apply]. We prioritize fixes based on how much they affect the ability to access information.
