ABOUT NORTHWEST EDUCATION ACCESS (formerly known as Seattle Education Access) 

Northwest Education Access (NWEA) works throughout the greater Puget Sound region on Coast Salish land. We provide comprehensive and individualized support to help low-income young people, ages 16-29, build their own path to higher education and beyond. NWEA focuses specifically on supporting alternative routes to high school completion and the transition into post-secondary pathways. The young people we serve navigate complex education barriers that are compounded by inequitable access to basic needs like housing, mental health services, and childcare. They do this while experiencing institutional racism and surviving generational and historical trauma. Many of the young people we serve are considered ‘Opportunity Youth,’ meaning they are typically disconnected from school and/or work. Despite a range of backgrounds, our students all share a strong motivation to complete their education and demonstrate resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity.

The NWEA program model is based on having a team of Education Advocates located at partner sites throughout the community. Partner sites include community or technical colleges, Open Doors programs, youth-serving homeless shelters, and other service providers working with low-income youth.
