join our Alumni & Student Advisory Board (ASAB)

At Northwest Education Access, we know that meaningful change begins with those directly impacted. That’s why we have an Alumni & Student Advisory Board (ASAB)—a space where students and alumni share their voices, ideas, and lived experiences to help shape and advance our mission.

The ASAB plays a vital role in capturing diverse perspectives and ensuring that our work reflects the real needs of the communities we serve.
