Accessibility

Our commitment

Green Explorers Club believes every child, family and educator should be able to explore, learn and shop with us, including people with disabilities.

We aim for our website to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. These are the international standard for making websites usable by people who are blind or have low vision, are deaf or hard of hearing, or have mobility, cognitive or other disabilities. Accessibility is ongoing work, and we review and improve our site regularly.

What we do

  • Use a Shopify theme built with accessibility in mind
  • Add text descriptions (alt text) to images
  • Use clear headings, readable fonts and strong color contrast
  • Make sure the site and checkout can be used with a keyboard and screen reader
  • Label forms and explain errors clearly
  • Add captions to our videos
  • Test pages with automated tools and by hand when we make changes

Known limitations: Some older pages, PDFs and third-party tools (such as payment, shipping or review apps) may not yet fully meet our standard. We are working to fix them. If something gets in your way, please tell us (see Contact us).

Other ways to get what you need

  • Help ordering: If you have trouble using the site, email or call us. We will help you place your order, register for a workshop or find information, at no extra cost.
  • Lesson plans and downloads: If a PDF or printable doesn't work with your screen reader or other tool, we will send an accessible version, such as a tagged PDF, Word document or large print, at no extra cost.
  • Project Boxes and books: Ask us about large-print or alternate-format instructions for our kits. We can re-design some of our materials to accommodate.

In-person workshops and school programs

We want every child to take part in our hands-on programs. If your child needs an accommodation, such as physical access, adapted materials, extra support or a sensory-friendly setup, please tell us when you register or at least 7 days before the program, and we will do our best to work with you to make any necessary accommodations.

For school programs, we coordinate with each school to support students' IEPs and 504 plans.
