In Pierce County, too many young adults face barriers to education and career opportunities. Rising costs, workforce shortages, and systemic inequities make it harder than ever to succeed. Less than 20% of low-income students in Washington earn a postsecondary credential by age 26—yet nearly 70% of living-wage jobs require one.
That’s where Palmer Scholars comes in. We provide mentorship, financial support, and career pathways to help young adults break through these barriers and build brighter futures.
