Northwest Center is a mid-sized nonprofit based in the Seattle area in Washington that advances opportunities for people with disabilities through education, rehabilitation, and work experience. Founded in 1965, its mission is to support growth, development, and independence for individuals with disabilities. The organization operates through multiple divisions that function as micro-communities within the broader nonprofit, all grounded in a commitment to inclusion for people of all abilities. It runs initiatives such as Northwest Center Kids and the IMPACT program, launched in 2023 to help childcare centers welcome children with special needs. The organization collaborates with employers to broaden inclusive opportunities, including a longstanding partnership with Amazon to promote inclusive workplaces across Washington.
