Colorado Arc Network
There are local chapters of The Arc in Colorado, each serving designated geographic areas. Local chapters provide individual advocacy services for children and adults with intellectual developmental disabilities who live in their service areas. They also provide information and referral services, public policy support, community education, and more. Membership in a local chapter of The Arc includes membership in The Arc of Colorado and The Arc of the United States.
Local advocacy, statewide reach.
Every chapter is a separate 501(c)(3) with its own staff and board, so services flex to fit the community. At the same time, we share one voice on statewide and federal policy through The Arc of Colorado and The Arc of the United States.
Individual advocacy
Every chapter offers direct one-on-one advocacy for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities — at school, at work, in healthcare, and through life transitions.
Information & referral
Chapters connect families to waivers, service providers, legal resources, healthcare systems, recreation programs, and peer groups that fit your region.
Public policy & community education
The network amplifies local voices to the state Capitol and Congress on issues like waivers, Medicaid, employment, and community inclusion.
The Arc of Colorado
The state chapter coordinates policy work, convenes local chapters, and provides statewide training and resources.
