Congress has said they are committed to protecting services to those with developmental disabilities, but often times changes or cuts that are made that were not intended to impact our families sometimes do.

Let your representatives know your concerns for your loved ones and other families you know.

Congress is deciding next year’s budget--and critical programs that help people with disabilities gain independence & opportunity are at stake. Tell Congress to keep its commitment and fund IDEA & DD Act programs—investing in education, community inclusion, and self-sufficiency. [...

Some of our amazing mom’s journeyed to Topeka to testify to the Bob Bethel HCBS Oversight committee.

There are a lot of proposed changes coming to IDD services in Kansas and it is through the passionate advocacy from our families and IDD champions that we have an opportunity to shape what is to come.

Thank you Pat, Melanie, Aldona, and Cammie

Miss Unstoppable isn’t your typical pageant…it’s a celebration of joy, confidence, and belonging for girls with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It's a day filled with glitter, friendship, and unforgettable memories! We need a team of kind-hearted, enthusiastic volunteers to help bring it all to life.
Sign up here → https://forms.gle/6Ld7A5mW7JSiJD189


We’re looking for volunteers who want to make magic happen in roles like:
💖 Buddies – Be a girl’s personal cheerleader and bestie for the day! Help with dresses, sparkles, the occasional lipstick touch-ups, and most importantly, help her feel like the star she is. (This position is reserved for women only due to backstage and dressing room responsibilities.)

📸 Media Team – Capture the little moments that mean the world. From backstage giggles to standing ovations, your lens will help tell the beautiful story of the day.

🎭 Lights, Sound & Stage Crew – Help us bring the show to life! From music cues to spotlight moments, you’ll help create a production that shines as bright as the contestants. (Experience helpful but not required!)

🎟️ Front of House – Be the welcoming face of Miss Unstoppable! You’ll help with admissions, merch, flowers, and greeting guests with warmth and excitement.


Every volunteer gets a free event t-shirt, but more importantly, you’ll walk away with a full heart, lasting friendships, and the joy of making someone feel seen, celebrated, and unstoppable.

Our Story

The Arc of Sedgwick County makes a difference in the lives of individuals and families living with intellectual and developmental disabilities. For 65 years, The Arc has promoted their general welfare, fostered the development of programs on their behalf and increased the public’s awareness and acceptance. We provide educational programs and social experiences for youth and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.

Our nonprofit organization began in 1953 in a grassroots effort by parents concerned about services and future opportunities for their children and the families and children of tomorrow. They had a vision for community based services. They thrived off of teamwork as they collaborated with and supported each other. The future generations have benefited from their passion and advocacy to achieve a better life for their kids and a better community to provide opportunities.
