The Arc Jefferson – St. Lawrence is a proud Chapter of The Arc New York, the statewide organization that supports and connects over 25 local Chapters in realizing our statewide mission to provide people with disabilities the ordinary and extraordinary opportunities of life.

Each of those 100,000 voices is essential in advocating for sustainable, quality services and supports for New Yorkers with disabilities, and collectively, our voices raise a powerful call.
Together we serve one third of all New Yorkers with I/DD. Our Chapters regularly collaborate to navigate challenges, share expertise and best practices, and bring forward ideas for progress. The Arc New York sustains that network, advocates with the state, and provides guidance and resources to strengthen our Chapter and others.
