The Arc of Mercer County provides quality, comprehensive services that ensure people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and Autism Spectrum Disorder are empowered in all aspects of life. We are a 501(c)3, tax exempt, non-profit corporation governed by a Board of Directors that is elected by a membership of family members, friends, and supporters. We are a chapter of The Arc of Pennsy
lvania and The Arc of the United State, the nation's largest volunteer-based organization devoted to issues affecting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. As a member of these organizations, we work on state and local levels to:

promote better residential services
develop employment opportunities for people with disabilities
