The Arc is the largest national community-based organization advocating for and with people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and serving them and their families. The Arc’s vision is to see that every individual and family living with I/DD in the United States has access to the information, advocacy, and skills they need to support their full inclusion and participation in the community throughout their lifetimes. Each chapter provides a variety of services, supports, and advocacy for people with I/DD in their regions. No chapter of The Arc is the same which makes this organization unique and better equipped to serve their local regions more successfully. The Arc of Curry County was founded in 2019 by a group of people who believed that they could make the lives of the people with I/DD, their families, and the people who support them better in Curry County. Our mission is to promote respect, create opportunities, and advocate for equal rights for all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We have had to pause for the most part since the pandemic started, but we feel very hopeful that we will be able to create some wonderful opportunities in 2022 for Curry County! So stay tuned for more details!
