Welcome to The Arc of York County

Although our name has changed over six decades, we have stayed true to our mission: Empower people with intellectual and other disabilities to become active, vocal, and skilled community members.  That mission extends to supporting families and to educating the community on employing and living side-by-side with individuals with intellectual disabilities.

The Arc of York County is dedicated to improving the lives of people with intellectual disabilities and their families.  We are devoted to promoting and providing supports and services for people with intellectual disabilities and fosters research and education regarding the prevention of intellectual disabilities in infants and young children.
 
NOTE- Beginning in the fall of 2022, The Arc of York County and The Arc of Adams County began the process of merging to better serve individuals in York and Adams Counties.  Although we are still awaiting our official name change to "The Arc of York and Adams Counties," we proudly serve all individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in both York and Adams Counties.
