Full-day summer program for teenagers with disabilities

Northwest Center is preparing to launch our new full-day summer program

for teenagers with disabilities on June 27. Serving youth ages 13-21,

our center will be open from 7 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday

throughout the summer.

Northwest Center Teens is designed to meet the need of working parents

of teens with developmental conditions that require social, emotional

and physical supports throughout the day. Our staff will provide a safe

and engaging facility along with plenty of opportunities to get out into

the community to practice independent living and social skills. We are

collaborating with community partners such as the YMCA, Boys and Girls

Club, Seattle Parks and others to facilitate a variety of inclusive

summer adventures and activities for participants.

The program will offer monthly, weekly, full-time and part-time tuition

rates. No one will be turned away based on finances. Scholarships are

available to cover any portion of tuition that will best serve each

family's needs and allow participants to pay what they can.

We are close to finalizing a deal for space near downtown Seattle and

enrollment will begin very soon. For more information, or to receive an

application packet, please contact Bryan Baker bbaker@nwcenter.org or
