The Arc of Aurora is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization serving the Aurora community since 1975. We support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families through advocacy, education, and individualized support.
We work alongside individuals and families to help them access information, services, and opportunities to live full, self directed lives. Simply put, we help people navigate systems and get the support they deserve.
We are often the place people turn when they feel stuck, unheard, or unsure of their options. We partner with schools, agencies, and service providers to promote understanding, accountability, and inclusion.
We do not provide direct services such as housing or day programs. Instead, we focus on advocacy and systems change so publicly funded programs work better for the people they are meant to serve.
Our work is supported by individual donors and Arc Thrift Stores. We are proud members of The Arc network at the local, state, and national level.
