Get Involved with the Arc

Our membership combined with The Arc of Colorado and The Arc of the US creates a powerful voice in the country to promote the rights of persons with developmental disabilities. People with developmental disabilities and their families represent less than 1.5% of the general population so it's important to band together in order to offer a powerful voice. The larger our membership, the more attention is paid to what we say--it's as simple as that.
