Inclusive Community Programs Manager

The Arc of Spokane believes that having a disability should not prevent someone from enjoying a rich and meaningful life. We work to ensure that people with developmental disabilities in our community enjoy the highest quality of life possible.

Position Information

One of the ways we do this is through our Inclusive Community Programs, including the community center, community inclusion and community engagement programs.
