In addition to our permanent staff, help is always needed to provide the best programming possible for those we serve. Without dependable, hard working, and caring volunteers we could not offer the hundreds of events and activities each year serving thousands.
The Arc offers unique volunteering opportunities for citizens like you to join in the challenge to support the activities for persons of all ages who have some form of a developmental disability. Here are just some of the ways you can be involved.
