Services

At The Arc of Monroe, we offer services that empower people with intellectual and developmental disabilities across Monroe County to live lives that are meaningful to them.

Advocacy

For decades, New York state has not made adequate investments to sustain the essential programs and services people with intellectual and developmental disabilities rely on. Learn how you can help.

Direct Support Professionals

Working as a DSP provides you with the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life. You will help people to live lives that are meaningful to them, and you’ll have self-satisfaction along the way!

Work For The Arc

The Arc of Monroe is looking for compassionate, caring people who enjoy helping others and would embrace and model our core values. We offer flexible scheduling, competitive pay, excellent benefits, and the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

We’ve come so far in building a more inclusive and understanding world for people with autism.

The Arc of Monroe remains committed to protecting that progress by ensuring that every person is treated with the respect and humanity they deserve – especially when public discourse falls short.

Yesterday we helped celebrate the amazing mentors

Yesterday we helped celebrate the amazing mentors who are an essential part of our @lifeprep_naz program. Through campus employment, @nazuniversity students serve as mentors to the LifePrep students, assisting LifePrep students in classes, accompanying them to lunch, and supporting their on-campus and off-campus vocational experiences. We appreciate all that these mentors do to help our LifePrep students thrive not just on campus, but in their everyday lives!

LifePrep@Naz is a collaboration between The Arc of Monroe, @victorcentralschools, and Nazareth University. To learn more, visit www.ArcMonroe.org/LifePrep-Naz.

Thank you to these amazing musicians for gifting us this opportunity to explore the sounds of the instruments and the art it creates in our minds!
