mission

For the past three years 18 different AmeriCorps Inclusive Recreation Companions have been paired with over 50 individuals with developmental disabilities to help them establish inclusive recreation as a necessary part of their lives. The current six-member team has had a busy spring while winding down the final year of the project. The service projects they conducted throughout the Portland area included a work day at Luscher Organic Farm in Lake Oswego; a yard clean-up day at a home in Northeast Portland; and disability awareness training at schools and after-school programs.

The Arc of Multnomah - Clackamas advocates for, supports and serves children and adults with mental retardation and/or related developmental disabilities and their families.

Through the realization of our dream, individuals with mental retardation or related developmental disabilities will be welcomed, accepted, and supported, while living in an environment where they are able to safely and securely live, work, and play, with the same opportunities as others.

VALUES

Our values are those of equal opportunity, as we advocate for rights and opportunities for individuals with mental retardation and developmental disabilities and their families.

We believe that every person deserves to be treated with compassion, dignity, and care.

As each person can make a difference, we believe that by working together our vision of a better life can become a reality.
