COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Local Events Happening In November 2025
Connect, Learn, and Explore
With Community Engagement
Welcome to The Arc of Spokane’s Community Engagement: a program designed to help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) connect with others, build skills, and explore the community.
Activities include outings to Spokane-area events like board game cafés, Riverfront Park, and food banks, plus gatherings at The Arc’s Community Center such as karaoke, art classes, and game nights.
This program is available to those with a Community Engagement waiver, and a private pay option is offered for those without one. Need help getting a waiver? Our team can guide you through the process.
Call the Community Center at 509-789-8791 for assistance or to learn more.
