About Us
The Arc of Allegan County advocates for the inclusion and dignity of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) throughout the county.
We proudly serve as the local affiliate of The Arc Michigan and The Arc of the United States.
Arc’s Mission
We believe those with an IDD deserve to live, learn, work, and play meaningfully and with respect in their communities. Through education, research, and advocacy, we work to improve the quality of life for children and adults with cognitive, intellectual, and developmental disabilities and those who care for them.
Our mission is to improve support systems, connect families to resources and social activities, inspire our shared communities to become more welcoming and accessible, and influence related public policy changes.
All of our services are free.
