WHO ARE WE

Founded by a small group of dedicated parents in 1954 as the first non-profit organization of its kind in Rockland County, ARC of Rockland today provides supports and services to more than 1,200 people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities from infancy through the senior years.
We are also a key resource for information and referral regarding supports and services throughout the county, state and country.
We are proud to have an active volunteer board of directors and a volunteer foundation board as integral aspects of ARC. Foundation members are ambassadors to the community-at-large, spreading the word that people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities are people with abilities.

MISSION STATEMENT

Empower the people we support to make personal choices and realize dreams by providing them with resources to participate fully in community life.

OUR VISION

We believe that people with intellectual and/or developmentally disabilities are productive and contributing members of our community. We believe they are entitled to the same rights and privileges afforded to all citizens; that they should have choices in determining the quality of their lives, and that they should have a sufficient and appropriate support system to assist them
