Patrick Donahue

Before becoming an Engagement Navigator, I had been the Manager of Community Partnerships in the Office of Family & Community Engagement for SPS since 2021. In that position, I also helped expand the district’s volunteer mentoring program.

I was born and raised in Spokane Valley before attending Washington State University where I earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Child and Family Studies. Prior to joining SPS, I worked for 24 years at Spokane County Juvenile Court, spending 14 of those years supporting staff and volunteers in their advocacy for youth involved in the foster care system as the CASA/Guardian ad Litem Program Coordinator.
