The Arc of Tempe

Advocating for individuals with mental disabilities and their families throughout the east valley.

The Arc of Tempe is a non-profit organization serving individuals with mental disabilities.  We have been in business since the early 1960's.  The program  started with a preschool for children with disabilities.  Now we operate as a recreation program for teens and adults with disabilities as well as a thrift store.  We are in the process of building a new community center for our recreation participants to enjoy.  Search our website further for more details.

Recreation Program Mission Statement:  To enhance and maintain the quality of life of individuals with disabilities through recreational, educational and socialization programs.  As well as promoting independent leisure and daily living skills.

Membership is only $15.00 per year for three members in the family.  This includes mailing list items, voting privileges etc.
Membership is renewed every February.
