Swan Graphics is the first business of Swan Vocational Enterprises, a non-profit economic development enterprise created in response to a lack of economic opportunity for young adults in the Lower Yakima Valley. The shop serves as a vocational training program, teaching graphic design, dark room work, screen printing, embroidery, invoicing, purchasing, website design, e-commerce, administrative tasks, and janitorial skills, alongside soft skills such as public speaking, sales, interpersonal interaction, and taking instruction and constructive criticism. Training also focuses on character traits including self-control, grit, a growth mindset, perseverance, zeal, and curiosity, in a supportive, faith-based environment. The business prints and embroiders merchandise for specific customers and has expanded its e-commerce to include Etsy, where participants design merchandise and sell one-off shirts.

Swan Graphics operates out of an old log church building at 2551 Signal Peak Road that has been used by the community for decades. Customers are welcome to visit the shop, see the operation, and meet the employees.

The shop's 5.00 rating reflects the experience of the customers who have reviewed it. Orders placed with Swan Graphics keep its employees working and learning, tying a Toppenish screen-printing and embroidery purchase directly to vocational training for young people in the Lower Yakima Valley.
