The Arc Jefferson – St. Lawrence is a proud Chapter of The Arc New York, the statewide organization that supports and connects over 30 local Chapters in realizing our statewide mission to provide people with disabilities the ordinary and extraordinary opportunities of life. As a member of The Arc Jefferson – St. Lawrence, you are also a member of The Arc New York – one of 100,000 members statewide. Each of those 100,000 voices is essential in advocating for sustainable, quality services and supports for New Yorkers with I/DD, and collectively, our voices raise a powerful call.
The Arc New York recently launched a new Strategic Plan. This framework will move our statewide organization forward with a unified vision to better support local Chapters and the 60,000 people and families we serve across New York.
The Arc New York Strategic Plan focuses on seven areas that will strengthen our programs and services, support and sustain our dedicated workforce, ensure financial sustainability, elevate statewide advocacy, enhance diversity and inclusion, and support innovation and evolution throughout The Arc New York.
The Arc Jefferson – St. Lawrence is a partner in these larger efforts. The impact of the important work that happens here is multiplied every day at programs throughout the state. Together we serve one third of all New Yorkers with I/DD. Our Chapters regularly collaborate to navigate challenges, share expertise, and best practices, and bring forward ideas for progress. The Arc New York sustains that network, advocates with the state, and provides guidance and resources to strengthen our Chapter and others.
Throughout the past year we have seen with certainty that we are stronger together. We invite you to connect with The Arc New York, and to continue to collaborate with us as we all work to provide people with disabilities the ordinary and extraordinary opportunities of life.
We would like to invite you to become a member today! If you are a current member, we are asking you to not only renew your membership, but also to encourage at least one family member or friend to become a member. Perhaps you would like to buy a membership for someone as a gift? Giving a gift membership is a wonderful way to send a meaningful message.
Would you consider becoming a Lifetime Member?
This one-time membership fee costs $100 and you will become a member for life, rather than having to renew every year. The commitment from Lifetime members provides us with additional financial support for many essential services including; supported living, learning, employment, social, recreational, health, artistic and respite for families.
By participating as a member of The Arc Jefferson - St. Lawrence, you truly make a difference to the more than 1,000 people we serve each day.
