Making a Difference Through Digital Skills Training
For people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, digital access and skills are a critical component of gaining independence. In 2022, The Arc and Comcast NBCUniversal once again teamed up to open digital doors.
The Arc Continues To Build Its National Inclusive Volunteering Programs
The Arc is thrilled to announce it has once again received funding from AmeriCorps. With this grant, The Arc will continue to build both of its inclusive volunteering national initiatives: Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service and September 11 Day of Service and Remembrance.
