Thank you for your interest in our membership program. The Arc was founded by parents seeking inclusion for their children with disabilities. This grassroots effort took place county by county, state by state, and has accomplished a great deal over the last six decades, demonstrating strength in numbers. Our voices have been heard, proving membership is vital to the continued success of our advocacy efforts. Thank you for your support!
