The importance of support for those with intellectual, developmental, and other disabilities to lead independent lives is something that a Stockton non-profit organization called The Arc San Joaquin works every day to make it a reality.
What began as a grassroots organization in 1954 grew into one of 700 state and local chapters with the same desire to advocate for the rights of individuals that fall into these categories to fully participate in life.
The Arc’s two central programs include their Employment Program and an Adult Day Program. Arc’s employment program helps individuals determine their career interests, goals, and connect them with jobs within their ability. Further, their Adult Day Program addresses an individual’s behavioral, physical, and mental capabilities and provides them with the skills and training to live successful lives.
The Arc San Joaquin is located at 41 W. Yokuts Ave. Stockton, Calif, 95207. Their hours are from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. For more information on programs and services, ways to donate, or how to get involved, you can contact their direct line at (209) 955-1625 or visit their website. For frequent updates you may also follow their newsletter, Facebook, or Instagram.
