What We Do
Advocate
We work with local and state legislators to support The Arc of Virginia’s agendas. We keep our members and friends informed about disability issues before the Virginia General Assembly.
Celebrate
We believe in inclusion for people with disabilities in community life. The Arc fosters social connections and relationships throughout the year through parties, gatherings, and community events. Join us!
Educate
We work to inform and educate the community about DD issues. In 2020, we went virtual along with all of you, and hosted free educational Zoom webinars. We have returned primarily to in-person events, but our library is available online.
Our Mission
We advocate for the human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, inform and educate the community about issues affecting people with disabilities and their families, advocate for full participation in community life, and facilitate opportunities for connection, understanding, and friendship.
The Arc of New River Valley
“We envision people with disabilities leading full, rich lives as active, contributing members of their communities.”
