Empowering Pathways 365 (EP365)
is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of
individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities through the power
of sports. Our inclusive programs — including basketball, soccer, fitness,
dance, and sports camps — are offered across multiple locations throughout the
Inland Empire. We believe every individual deserves the opportunity to live a
fun, active, and fulfilling life, and our team makes that possible every single
day.

EP365 is seeking passionate and
dedicated Behavior Support Staff to provide direct behavioral support during
our inclusive sports programs. This is a physically active, community-based
role working across multiple locations and a variety of sports programs. You
