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.
How we work toward our goal
To gather insights from both youth and adult participants to effectively shape and inform programs and policies at local and state levels.
Participant Engagement
To create intentional spaces for providers to identify best practices, build relationships, shape resources, and establish regional goals for supporting opportunity youth and adult learners
Collective Impact
To measure our progress, improve programming, and uplift student experience
