Partnership
GSI creates the place where organizations come together to advocate for the region, drive strategic economic growth and champion a talented workforce. Because our future is greater than any one of us.
Become a Partner
Together we're greater. It's all about our community and creating a vibrant region that is connected, inspired, and driven to succeed. We can't do this work alone. We partner with local businesses, our community, non-profits, and the surrounding region to build a robust regional economy.
Our History
In 1965, four mothers refused to accept that their children would be barred from school and their communities. They founded Northwest Center, led the fight for the first state law to grant access to public education to people with disabilities, paved the way for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and made history. They changed the world, and their spirit continues today at Northwest Center, as it expands opportunities for people with disabilities from birth through their careers.
Our Mission
To promote the growth, development, and independence of people with disabilities through programs of therapy, education, and work opportunity.
Our Vision
An inclusive world is the world as it should be. Northwest Center is living proof that when people of all abilities learn and work together, everyone benefits.
