Founded in 1963, The Arc of Southwest Georgia, formerly Albany Advocacy Resource Center is a 501(c)3, non-profit organization that advocates on behalf of individuals with disabilities and their caregivers and currently serves over 700 deserving individuals. By always putting people first, the organization has grown to become one of the largest and most successful private-provider agencies in Georgia. We believe that all individuals, regardless of disabilities or exceptional needs, have strengths, abilities, and inherent value and should experience the same opportunities, rights, and freedoms as inclusive members of the community.
