Accessibility Statement

Effective Date: [Jun 19, 2025]

At TeenStartSmart.com, we are committed to ensuring our website is accessible to all users, including individuals with disabilities. An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved through both the capabilities of the system on which the site is running and through assistive technologies like screen readers and keyboard navigation.

Accessibility Standards

We have adapted our website in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 and aim to meet Level AA compliance. These standards help us provide a digital experience that is inclusive, clear, and easy to navigate.

What We’ve Done to Improve Accessibility

To support all users, we have made the following improvements:

We have set the language of the site to work properly with screen readers.
We structured all pages with a clear and consistent content order.
We use heading structures that are easy to follow and logical.
All images include alternative (alt) text that describes their purpose or content.
Color contrast on the site meets accessibility guidelines for readability.
We’ve minimized the use of motion or flashing elements.
All videos, audio files, and downloadable resources have been checked for accessibility.

We have also used accessibility tools and wizards to identify and fix potential issues wherever possible.

Third-Party Content

Some parts of our site may include content or tools provided by third parties. While we aim to ensure full accessibility across the site, we cannot guarantee compliance for content that is not under our control.

Examples include embedded tools or external resources. These third-party elements may appear on the following pages:
[Insert URLs or page names — e.g., “/volunteer-opportunities” or “/resources”]

We therefore declare partial compliance for these specific pages.

Feedback and Requests

We are constantly working to improve accessibility on TeenStartSmart.com. If you are having difficulty accessing any part of our site, or if you have feedback, questions, or suggestions, please let us know. We value your input and are committed to addressing any accessibility issues promptly.
