Individuals with intellectual and developmental differences are our partners in discovering possibilities for a fulfilled life. Together we unlock potential for achievement at home, at work, and at play. The Arc Jacksonville believes we all have the right to be in community and to make personal decisions about how we live, learn, work and play. Each day, we help more than 500 people discover and u

nlock the possibilities within themselves. At the same time we help those who support adults with disabilities make informed choices about services and service providers. Join us on this journey toward the possible.

Participants in our Summer LIFE program built confidence in navigating their community through exploring the University of North Florida campus, riding a ferry, and learning all about the public bus system with the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA)! ๐ŸšŒโ 
โ 
For individuals with intellectual and developmental differences (IDD), learning to navigate communities and transportation is an important step towards greater independence, self-determination, and a sense of belonging. By gaining confidence in their ability to travel and access community resources, participants are better equipped to make great choices and pursue their goals. โ 
โ 
We are excited to see what they accomplish on their next summer journey! ๐Ÿ™Œโ
