Join the Arc

“Feeling overwhelmed and lost in, and not understanding the educational system and our rights, we contacted The Arc. An Arc advocate now attends IEP and team meetings with us. We are more informed and feel more assured by having the advocate right by our side at meetings. We have participated in The Arc Angel program the past couple years. It makes us happy to know that we are helping to make someone’s day a little brighter.”

- Michelle & Jeff
