We believe that education and awareness are the keys to creating a more accessible web and curating an inclusive society. This is why we formed accessiBe’s Nonprofit Partnership Program; we proactively connect and collaborate with hundreds of change-makers and disability-focused organizations to instill an increased amount of knowledge in public regarding people with disabilities and the best courses of action that can create change.
Through this program, we have the opportunity to meet, discuss, and learn from hundreds of amazing change-makers and organizations who impact the communities they support. We are so proud to be on this journey with our partners and, therefore, want to take a moment to highlight the amazing work that September's 5 selected partners are doing as part of our monthly series that introduces them to the world.
