Accessible Census Workshop Series

Participation in the 2020 census is a vital opportunity to make sure your
community is accurately represented to federal, state, and local
governments, but the format can present some accessibility challenges. Join
the LightHouse accessible technology team for a two-part virtual workshop
series covering core technology skills to enable you to participate in the
2020 Census. We welcome you to listen and learn with us regardless of your
technology skill level. Join us for one, or both, of the workshops detailed
