Who
is The Arc?
The Arc of Greensboro was formed more

children, adults, and friends. Today, The Arc is one of the
nation’s largest voluntary organizations. The Arc is composed of
parents, educators, professionals in the field, individuals with mental
retardation and community citizens. The common bond that pulls them
together is the desire to improve the welfare of persons with mental

retardation, The Arc may have answers to some of the problems you face. If
you have a desire to help persons with mental retardation, The Arc is a
means for reaching out and committing yourself to assist persons with
special needs.
