Welcome!
We believe that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities...
- Are defined by their own strengths, abilities and inherent value, not by their disability
- Are equal before the law
- Belong in the community in natural proportions - to live, to work, and to participate fully in community life
- Have a voice in their own well-being
- Are contributing members of society
Established six decades ago, The Arc United States is one of the ten largest not-for-profit organizations in the country. The Arc Colorado participates in public policy
that affects people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and collaborates
with eleven local chapters, including Mesa County. The Arc Mesa County serves the
Western Slope through individual advocacy, community education, and systemic
change, along with information and referral. The majority of funding comes from Arc
Thrift Stores, grants, fundraising, memberships, and donations.
