Northwest Education Access

Mission

Northwest Education Access provides comprehensive and individualized support to help low-income young people, ages 16-29, build their own path to higher education and beyond.

What we do

• Provide personal attention, mentorship, technical assistance, and moral support to low-income young people navigating post-secondary education. 
• Connect low-income young people with information and resources, and support them in creating an individualized plan to meet their higher education goals.
• Advocate for and with low-income young people, and empower them to develop their own voices as they pursue their higher education.
• Provide financial resources that help low-income young people access higher education and meet their basic needs while in school.

Why Northwest Education Access

While other college access programs assist students in traditional high schools to transfer directly to higher education, NW Education Access is the only college access organization in Washington State that centers re-engaging out-of-school young people who have encountered significant barriers to completing their high school or college education.
