Welcome to The Arc!
We know that you have goals for what you want to do in your life.
The Arc is here to help you.
What The Arc Does
Our chapters around the country provide information and training.
Our chapters also provide services to people.
We help people find jobs, find their next home, and go to school.
We also do other things to help people achieve their goals.
We advocate for the civil and human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD).
We support the full inclusion of people with I/DD in their community.
Advocate With Us and Join Our National Council of Self-Advocates
People with disabilities run the National Council of Self-Advocates.
People with disabilities lead the Council.
People with disabilities are members of the Council.
The National Council of Self Advocates is an advisory council.
The Council advises The Arc on its advocacy, programs, and services.
The Council tells The Arc how it can better support people with disabilities.
The Council tells The Arc about important issues to people with disabilities.

We stand united with The Arc of Massachusetts and The Arc's national movement to enhance
the human and civil rights of all persons with disabilities.
