​Welcome to the BRIDGE to Community Website! We’re here to support and connect older adults in Brooklyn by creating an online space that is:

​

• Easy to See:

  • Large fonts and simple layouts for comfortable reading

  • High-contrast colors and accessible color combinations to reduce eye strain

  • Clear, descriptive text for every image.

​

• Easy to Hear:

  • Written transcripts and subtitles for videos so you don’t miss any information

  • Clear alerts or visual notifications if a sound is played

  • Plans for sign language videos and simplified text for those preferring visual cues

​

• Easy to Navigate:

  • Straightforward menus, headings, and lists to organize content in logical steps

  • A handy search bar to quickly find topics—such as local older adult events, health resources, or information.

  • Multiple contact options—email, online chat, or phone—so you can reach us in whichever way feels most comfortable

​

• Designed for Everyone:

  • Built with older adults of all abilities in mind, including those using screen readers and voice recognition tools

  • Clear, jargon-free language to help you find the information you need

  • Include images to illustrate key concepts or highlight the local community.

By embracing these accessible features, we aim to connect, inform, and empower older adults throughout Brooklyn. Our dedication is to create a welcoming, age-friendly environment that celebrates our vibrant neighborhoods and ensures every voice is heard and every need is met.
