With approximately 7,000 members throughout Maryland, The Arc Maryland is the largest and strongest statewide advocacy organization advocating on behalf of and with persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families in Maryland. Our membership includes people with developmental disabilities, parents and other family members, educators, professionals, and interested persons from the general public.
With a small professional staff, our work is enhanced by active volunteers, local Chapters of The Arc, alliances with state and local organizations, coalitions and agencies.
We touch thousands of individuals through our public policy and program work for example: Waiting List Campaign, Alcohol Tax Campaign, Together We're Better Inclusive Education Program, Knights of Columbus small grant program, and our Self Advocacy Network of Peer Mentors -- to name just a few.
