The Arc of Greensboro is committed to ensuring that choices and resources remain available and accessible to people living within our community with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This effort is achieved through vast support from within the organization and throughout the city of Greensboro. There are numerous ways to help the cause, from donating funds, gently used and relevant items, and experiences (tickets to events or attractions), volunteering to support events, programs, and other endeavors, and through advocacy for IDD services and rights.
HOW TO HELP
Advocacy
Advocating for IDD & Self-Advocacy
Since 1990, The Arc of Greensboro has offered vocational guidance and supported employment for the region's working-age adults with intellectual disabilities. An essential component of those services is reshaping public policy to expand employment opportunities for people with intellectual and/or physical limitation disabilities. Only a tiny fraction of working-age adults with intellectual disabilities are gainfully employed in North Carolina compared to their non-disabled counterparts.
