The Arc of Calhoun County

We envision communities where all people with intellectual and developmental disabilities grow, succeed, and have influence. Person-centered- We respond to the unique, individual voices, ideas and perspectives of those whom we serve. We do so without judgment, and with unwavering compassion and empathy. Ethical- We hold ourselves accountable to operate with transparent and responsible practices that promote honesty, integrity, and good stewardship of time and resources. Equitable- We have a deep commitment to fairness and work to remove societal barriers that limit people’s ability to exercise their human rights because of who they are. Community-engaged- We partner with members and allies to create and advance a shared vision within the community. These core values provide a foundation for everything we do. They guide our interactions with our members, our partners, our community, and each other. They exemplify what is important to us and what others can expect from us.

We serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, their families, and our community through programming, education, and advocacy.
