Sign Up For CONNECTIONS!
Every day, Chapter staff are doing the work to make our mission of providing people with intellectual, developmental, and other disabilities the ordinary and extraordinary opportunities of life a reality. The Arc New York shares stories from our Chapters and messages from the organization in our CONNECTIONS newsletter to celebrate those efforts and demonstrate how our mission is being realized across the state.
Advocate TODAY!
For 75 years, The Arc New York has been at the forefront of the fight for the civil rights and inclusion of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). Together, we have driven powerful change. But the fight isn’t over. The power of The Arc New York comes from families, self-advocates, dedicated staff, and committed community members working in partnership to demand a better world for people with I/DD. We need your voice today!
