Northwest Education Access
Founded in 2002, NW Education Access provides comprehensive and individualized support to help low-income young people, ages 16-29, build a path to high school and higher education success. While other programs assist students in traditional high school to college pathways, NW Education Access is unique. It's the only college access program in Washington State re-engaging out-of-school young people who've encountered siginificant barriers to completing their high school or college education.
