Orion Industries

Jobs provide more than just a paycheck, and people with disabilities and employment barriers want what we all want - to be self-sufficient, contributing members of society. They seek employment but have had difficulty finding success due to a lack of work experience or education, behavioral health, disability, poverty, justice involvement, or homelessness. At Orion, we help people succeed despite these obstacles by providing an entry point into living wage careers.

Your gift will provide an opportunity for people in the Puget Sound region to prepare for and access work. Orion offers individualized support, empowering adults to establish career pathways and exit the cycle of poverty for themselves and their families. Bobby, who participated in our program years ago, recently said, "I want to thank you for allowing me to go through your program...you gave me the opportunity of a lifetime, and I took advantage of it, and now I'm doing better than most."

Mission Statement

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to work. We offer hope and create paths to employment through building esteem, mentoring, training, education, community services and successful businesses. Orion builds stability, ability, and belief in oneself to access and sustain long-term employment. 

We believe in the power of good jobs to positively change lives, families, and communities, and we invite you to join us in providing a pathway to economic empowerment. Individuals who have been left on the sidelines of employment will connect with work through our programs which provide solid work and learning experiences. We help individuals prepare for and connect with living-wage careers in the aerospace manufacturing industry and in office environments.
