Aim Seattle is a grassroots organization that works to address systemic barriers faced by people with disabilities, especially children, teens, and young adults.

Our Story

People with disabilities have the same aspirations and dreams that everyone does: healthy relationships, meaningful ways to participate in society, and the resources needed to be successful. Yet as a community, people with disabilities face numerous daily challenges and systemic barriers to full participation in society. In addition to basic challenges such as transportation and housing, access to supportive services is complex and multi-faceted.

AIM is addressing these barriers by supporting Disabled community members. In 2022, AIM began a weekly Adaptive Dance Program for teens with a diverse range of disabilities supported by volunteers. Since then, we have expanded our programming to expand our dance offerings and incorporated other arts programming, including music and theater.

Our Mission

We enrich the lives of people in the disability community through active engagement with and access to movement and the arts.

Our Promise

AIM engages Disabled community members by providing opportunities for self-expression, connection and belonging through adaptive arts education and artistic experiences
in an accessible and welcoming environment.
