More information
The Arc of Anchorage is a private, not-for-profit organization, a grassroots organization with more than 140,000 members who are affiliated with nearly one thousand state and local chapters across the country. The Arc of Anchorage was founded in 1957 by a small group of parents that came together to fight for the rights of their children with disabilities. Rights like living at home, instead of in an institution , the right to go to school, the right to be treated like other people, to be a part of the community, to be respected, to have friends, to decide what they want their life to be and to work toward those goals just like anyone else. We have a promise to keep - a promise we made more than five decades ago. A promise to be here, ready to help, whenever a family comes knocking at our door, looking for hope and a helping hand.
