Mission

The Arc Community League is a Chapter of the NYSARC, Inc. (formerly the NYS Association for Retarded Children). Since its conception in 1952, The Arc Community League has played an advocacy role for consumers residing on the Wassaic Developmental Center campus and their families. With the onset of community-based housing, The Arc Community League currently provides Supplemental Group Day Habilitation on the weekends, advocacy and continues its involvement with consumers residing in the Taconic DDSO catchment area’s State operated group homes (IRAs) through events of a community inclusion nature.

The guiding principles developed by our founders remain the focal point of our objective today. In keeping with the The Arc Community League mission, it is our intention to enhance our services to intellectual and developmentally disabled individuals living in at home and supportive apartments.
