You Can Make a Difference. Become a Member Today!

For over 60 years, The Arc Chemung-Schuyler has provided excellence in service to people with developmental disabilities in the Chemung and Schuyler County area. Support from members in our community have helped make this dedication to quality possible.

Today, The Arc Chemung-Schuyler supports nearly 1,200 people and their families. Yet, despite our progress, much work remains to be done until the dreams of integration, independence and individuality for people with disabilities is fully realized. You can help make the dream a reality by supporting the mission of The Arc Chemung-Schuyler.

Why is The Arc Chemung-Schuyler's Annual Membership Campaign So Important?

Your support and inclusion in the agency helps people with disabilities become more independent, productive and integrated in our local community. Without your help there is less opportunity for personal growth and achievement.
Membership provides our agency the ability to advocate legislatively at the state level. Our agency continues to face enormous challenges given the current economic climate of our state and nation.

What is The Arc Chemung-Schuyler's Annual Membership Campaign?

Each year The Arc Chemung-Schuyler runs a membership campaign in which we ask the community, our staff, families, and the people we support to become a member of the agency.
It is only $5.00, per person, to become a member!
Membership lasts one full calendar year and includes enrollment at the State and National levels.
