Social Media Coordinator (part time)

Here's your opportunity to help make the future better for people with Down syndrome. 

ORGANIZATIONAL SUMMARY

LuMind IDSC’s small, dynamic team is working across the U.S. to drive improvements in the lives of people with Down syndrome through accelerated research and the empowerment of individuals and their families.
