In Person Workshop- Bakersfield

When: March 26 10:30 am

Location:
1401 Commercial Way Suite 210
Bakersfield CA 93309

About the Event:
Join us on Thursday, March 26 at our service center, where you’ll learn how we’re working to ensure every Californian has access to barrier-free communication. We will be offering two sessions:
10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

In these workshops, we’ll unpack what accessible communication looks like, showcase the services we provide, explain eligibility criteria, and provide a guided tour of our service center.

In addition, we’ll discuss opportunities for partnership, how organizations like ours can work together to reach more individuals with disabilities, address barriers head-on, and build a resilient, inclusive network across our communities.
