The Mission at Kern County is committed to making our website accessible and user-friendly for all visitors. We believe everyone should be able to access information about our services, programs, volunteer opportunities, donations, events, and community support, regardless of ability, technology, or circumstance.

Our goal is to provide a website experience that is inclusive, clear, and easy to navigate. We are working to follow recognised accessibility best practices, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), where possible, to improve usability for people using assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnifiers, and voice recognition tools.

Our Ongoing Commitment

We aim to make our website as accessible as possible by focusing on:

Clear and readable website content

Logical page structure and navigation

Alternative text for meaningful images where appropriate

Keyboard-friendly navigation where possible

Sufficient colour contrast between text and backgrounds

Accessible forms, buttons, and links

Compatibility with commonly used browsers and assistive technologies

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. As our website grows and changes, we will continue reviewing content, design, and functionality to identify areas for improvement.

Third-Party Content

Some areas of our website may include links, embedded tools, donation platforms, maps, social media feeds, or other third-party features. While we aim to use accessible tools wherever possible, we may not have full control over the accessibility of third-party content. We encourage visitors to contact us if they experience difficulty accessing any part of the website.

Need Assistance?
