What we found
The content on these pages is strong, and the ambassador groups and resident recruiter are exactly what a newcomer needs to find. The fixes below are small, and most can be finished in the first week. All 8 pages failed at least one automated WCAG 2.1 Level A or AA check, for 96 failing elements under 4 rules.

The work list, in order
- Raise the contrast on the two buttons that matter most. "Search Jobs" on the Find Jobs page and the Submit button on the resident recruiter form both fail, and those are the two moments a newcomer acts.
- Name the logo link. The site logo link has no accessible name on every Opportunities Aroostook page scanned, so a screen reader has nothing to announce.
- Add alt text to the four homepage carousel photos that carry no alt attribute, and name the linked images around them.
- Give the Aroostook Partnership homepage a page title. The title is empty today, which affects screen readers, browser tabs and search results.
- Fix the search basics. Work Aroostook and the resident recruiter page have no meta description. The Ambassador Program page is titled "Strong Communities Committed to Safety and Family," so a search for ambassadors will not find it by name.
- Check the homepage video. It has no caption track attached. If captions are not burned into the video, add them.
How to check this yourself
Run the free axe DevTools browser extension on any page above, or axe-core 4.14 with the WCAG 2.1 A and AA rules. Counts come from a desktop view at 1366 by 900 pixels. Automated checks find only part of the accessibility picture, so each page also gets a keyboard and screen reader pass during the first week.
