Accessibility and Inclusion Resources   

RootsConnectED is committed to offering an accessible environment for workshops and institutes. We are located on the third floor of a New York City Department of Education building which, unfortunately does not provide wheelchair accessibility. We provide gender-neutral bathrooms for all of our participants.  If you require any other specific assistance, including but not limited to sign language interpretation, you can email Megan King at mking@communityroots.org.

Please communicate directly with your hotel if you require ADA compliant accommodations.
