Mission Statement

The Arc of Atlantic County improves the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our community. Through direct services, advocacy, education and prevention activities, we work in partnership with individuals and their families to make choices possible about how and where they live, learn, work and, play.

Description

The Arc of Atlantic County has been providing valuable services to children and adults with developmental disabilities and their families since 1961. We serve approximately 1,000 people in a variety of programs. Our residential programs include group homes, supervised apartments and supported living options. Many of our consumers are living in the community with their families and receive our case management and family support services. Other community-based programs include advocacy, our popular recreational programs, and supported employment services. Additionally, The Arc provides Direct Support Professional Training and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) Education and Outreach. Learn more about us at www.thearcatlantic.org

No Experience Necessary: Our Vision is that people have the opportunities and support they need to live the lives they choose. That means you too. We believe that anyone with a desire to volunteer has something to offer. While some positions have specific skills required, most simply require you to be yourself. Your volunteer work is based on your skills and interests and is matched with the current needs of our programs.
