Mission The Arc’s mission is to advocate to enhance the dignity, expand the opportunities, and protect the rights of persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. Vision The Arc envisions a world in which all persons have the support they need for personal development, independence, and interdependence with family and friends, and inclusion in the community. Diversity Statement The Arc of Lane County is an agency committed to diversity. Our main goal is to create an environment of mutual respect, tolerance and equal opportunity to all persons we serve without regard to race, color, sex, religion, creed, age, marital status, national origin, sexual orientation, veteran status, or the presence of any physical, sensory or intellectual disability. We respect and celebrate the diversity of our workforce, individuals and their families that we support and the communities in which we serve. We work with strategic partners, community organizations and other alliances to ensure an inclusive approach to all our business elements. We are dedicated to developing all employees and strengthening our work environment. We foster and promote an inclusive environment that leverages the unique contributions of diverse individuals and organizations in all aspects of our work. Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of what it means for people with developmental disabilities to live, learn, work, and play in the community
