The Arc Michigan

For 75 years, The Arc Michigan has stood alongside people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, advocating for inclusion, opportunity, and belonging.

This Disability Pride Month, we honor the strength, leadership, and contributions of the disability community while recognizing that disability is a natural and valuable part of human diversity.

As we celebrate our 75th anniversary, we're proud to reflect on the progress we've made together—and remain committed to creating a Michigan where every person is valued, included, and empowered to live the life they choose.

Here's to 75 years of advocacy—and to the work still ahead.
