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.

Tell State Leaders: Invest in I/DD Services!

After more than a decade of underfunding, the system of services and supports New Yorkers with disabilities rely on is in crisis. Investment in our field is critical to ensure quality supports are available today and sustained into the future
