About The Arc Jacksonville
Location:
1050 N. Davis St., Jacksonville, FL 33309, US
Mission Statement
to serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to achieve their full potential and to participate in community life.
Description
The Arc Jacksonville has served our community’s citizens with intellectual and developmental disabilities since 1965. The organization began within a grassroots movement to provide educational opportunities for special needs persons who were not well-served by the public education system. Over the decades, The Arc program has evolved and expanded to offer a wide range of services today within community settings.
Today The Arc has an annual operating budget of $7.6 million, serves approximately 400 individuals daily and provides employment for approximately 130 staff members as well as service opportunities for 24 AmeriCorps and 6 VISTA members. Services are rendered from three main locations and five group homes. In addition to the direct services provided through our programs, The Arc Jacksonville serves as a source of information and support for the entire Northeast Florida area through its advocacy program, called A.S.K. (Advocacy, Support and Knowledge).
The primary location of the agency is in downtown Jacksonville, in a multi-use complex of administrative offices, program and workshop areas and a packaging warehouse. An additional facility on the Westside provides similar programming.
The five group homes are nestled within the neighborhoods of Arlington, St. Nicholas, Ortega Farms and Mandarin. A college program for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities is on the campus of the University of North Florida.
