History

HISTORY

Innovative Services NW has been serving some of the most vulnerable populations in Clark County, Washington since 1963. We began when a small group of parents established an activity program for their children, including adult children, with disabilities. In 1965 we incorporated as a nonprofit with a $1,430 budget and two part-time staff serving 15 individuals per month. Today, we have a $7 million budget for the entire organization and 110 employees who served more than 1,1500 children, adults, and families in fiscal year 2023-2024, many on a daily or weekly basis.
