Volunteer With Arc
Volunteers are one of the essential building blocks of a successful non-profit organization. Your devotion of time and energy improves the lives of children and adults with developmental disabilities. Opportunities are abundant, from coordinating fundraising events to working with clients at the art studio to providing office assistance are all critical. We couldn't do it without YOU.
