A Collective of King & Pierce County Service Providers
Goal: (Re)Connect more young people and adult learners to education and employment opportunities (decreasing disconnection)
In 2024, Northwest Education Access became the backbone organization of the newly formed Sound Reengagement Collaborative (SRC). This new network combines the efforts of the King County Reengagement Network (KCRN) and the Reengaged Learner's Workgroup from Pierce County!
With the expanded footprint of the combined King and Pierce County network and the intentional involvement of program participants, our collaborative will have a more significant collective impact on our region and state.
Through the SRC, local Opportunity Youth and adult reengagement providers meet monthly to discuss best practices, highlight new programs, participate in professional development opportunities, and network with one another.
