About Vanessa Behan

Vanessa Behan is a Spokane-based nonprofit dedicated to keeping kids safe, strengthening families, and creating a healthier community in an environment of inclusion, authenticity, and adaptability.

Our vision is to provide immediate refuge for children and support that strengthens families. The organization was created following the tragic death of Vanessa Kay Behan, a Spokane child who died from abuse-related injuries at the age of two. In response, community leaders established Vanessa Behan to ensure families would have a safe place to turn during times of crisis.

Today, Vanessa Behan provides:

24-hour care for infants and children under age seven (and ages seven to twelve on a case-by-case basis)
Parent education
Crisis counseling
Referrals to community resources

We serve families facing a wide range of challenges, including homelessness, domestic violence, substance use disorders, and overwhelming parenting stress. Our fundraising events play a critical role in sustaining these services and ensuring families have access to support before a crisis becomes a tragedy.

Position Overview

Vanessa Behan is seeking a highly organized, relationship-focused Event Assistant Contractor to support the planning and execution of major fundraising events, including our signature Annual Pumpkin Ball.

The ideal contractor is self-motivated, detail-oriented, comfortable interacting with community supporters, and passionate about strengthening families and supporting children in our community.
