Accessibility

SFAI is committed to accessibility as an integral aspect of both diversity and inclusivity in all that we do.

SFAI has a zero-tolerance policy on discrimination and is deeply committed to fostering a culture of inclusion and equal opportunity for all persons regardless of race, sex, color, ethnicity, religion, spiritual beliefs, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.

SFAI welcomes constructive feedback about accessibility as an opportunity to address more ways of being inclusive.

Accessibility, Diversity, & Inclusion in Our Programming
