Accessibility Statement

Vital Village is a network of residents and organizations committed to maximizing child, family, and community well-being.  Our place-based, community engagement network mobilizes collective investment from residents, community organizations and institutions to seed scalable and sustainable community change around child protection and promoting healthy social and emotional development in early childhood.

Our Commitment to Digital Accessibility

Vital Village is dedicated to promoting digital inclusion. We aim to create an online environment that is accessible and welcoming to all individuals, enabling everyone to engage independently and with respect. We are continuously working to identify and eliminate barriers and to align with recognized accessibility standards.

Continuous Improvement in Accessible Content

Vital Village follows the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 as a foundation for accessibility efforts. Accessibility is considered throughout the design and development process for all new tools and resources.

We regularly evaluate our website and features to align with WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards, making improvements wherever needed to meet or exceed these guidelines. Our review process includes both automated and manual testing methods, such as screen readers, voice input tools, zoom and magnification software, color contrast testing, keyboard-only navigation, and other assistive technologies.

To further support an inclusive experience, Vital Village integrates webflow's accessibility audit checks and an on-site accessibility tool that allows visitors to customize how they interact with the website. This tool provides a range of features such as text resizing, contrast adjustments, and keyboard navigation enhancements, enabling users to tailor the interface to their individual needs. Accessibility widgets like the one implemented on our Webflow-based site are designed to help websites align with WCAG standards and improve usability.

Our contacts for support

We value your input and are always open to suggestions, questions, or feedback. If you encounter any issues with our website or find that certain features don’t work well with assistive technologies, please reach out to us.
