Job description
Joya Child & Family Development is currently seeking a Family Resource Coordinator!
Joya started in 1960 as the Spokane Guilds’ School & Neuromuscular Center when the Guilds, a group of caring women, started providing respite care for families of children with developmental disabilities. Since then, our organization has grown from volunteer-led to a Neurodevelopmental Center of Excellence staffed by certified teachers, therapists, pediatric nurses, a pediatrician, and social workers. We began construction on a new facility in Spokane’s University District in March of 2021 and recently moved to our new home in May of 2022. This larger, centrally located building, designed for young children and their families, will allow us to double our enrollment and expand our services, providing nearly 600 children in Spokane County with comprehensive expertise to help families thrive so children can thrive. www.joya.org
