Serving 1,500 individuals and families through more than 40 programs since 1948, The Arc of Essex County is a beacon of support for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. While dedicated professionals drive the organization’s mission, The Arc relies heavily on the compassion and commitment of volunteers to enrich the lives they serve. These volunteers extend the organization’s reach, providing guidance, essential resources, and assistance to make a real difference in the community.

We are always looking for individuals, 21 years or older, willing to share their time and talent, understand and promote the mission of The Arc, and serve as an ambassador and an advocate for the work of The Arc of Essex County. If you are interested in learning more about or joining our volunteer Board, please submit this brief survey. Thank you for sharing your interest, and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible.
