The Arc of Monmouth is a non-profit agency committed to improving the lives of over 1,600 Monmouth County residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities by providing extensive services and family support. Many families of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) can feel alone, lacking the necessary resources to help their loved ones enjoy fulfilling lives in the community. The Arc of Monmouth is a 501(c)(3) non-profit agency with a mission to improve the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families through comprehensive services, advocacy, community education, and collaboration with our community partners. Before The Arc was founded in 1950, virtually no programs or activities existed to care for young adults with I/DD and allow them to enjoy fulfilling lives in their communities. So, parents and concerned individuals joined together to advocate for their children to have full and independent lives, building a network to support the families. Today our dedicated staff and volunteers provide every support service imaginable so people with I/DD can live and thrive in their community. Some of the life-changing services we offer include the following:
- Adult Services
- Health Services
- Work Opportunity Center
- Recreation
- Residential Services
- Independent Living Program
- College Experience
- The Achievement Zone
- Advocacy and Resources
At The Arc of Monmouth, we are always ready to support and respond to emotional and physical needs, whatever they may be. Whether it’s recreational events, fundraising events, or direct care, our services require the tireless dedication of people of all ages and abilities willing to donate their time to our cause. Through The Arc of Monmouth, lives are transformed. Finally, individuals with I/DD can experience what it's like to be a part of a community, growing and learning new skills that equip them for their future. And families can feel confident their loved ones are set up for success. Of course, we can only do our work with generous donors and volunteers like you.
