a mission that moves.
Empowering Pathways 365 (EP365) is a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit providing inclusive therapeutic recreation, adaptive sports, and
wellness programming exclusively for individuals with intellectual and
developmental disabilities (IDD) across the Inland Empire. We believe sports
are not a temporary event — they are a lifestyle. We are growing, and we are
looking for leaders who believe that too.

highest-level behavioral support presence at your assigned facility, providing
direct 1:1, 1:3, and 1:5 support to participants while leading and guiding BSS
staff during sessions.

the quality of care our clients receive.
