The Arc Pikes Peak Region’s mission is to promote and protect the human rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and actively support their full inclusion and participation in the communities of the Pikes Peak Region throughout their lifetimes. Together, through advocacy, education, public policy, supported decision making, social events, and more, we can create a community where all people, regardless of ability, are embraced and respected.
People with intellectual and developmental disabilities continue to face barriers to inclusion, opportunity, and basic human rights. The Arc Pikes Peak Region provides advocacy, education, and life-changing supports that empower people and families to navigate challenges, build independence, and fully participate in their communities. Together, we are creating a more inclusive Pikes Peak region for everyone.
Give! funds will help bring the Achieve Recreation Center to life—a recreation destination where people with disabilities can experience community, connection, and belonging. Every gift moves us closer to making this inclusive vision a reality.
Loneliness raises the risk of depression by up to 40% and anxiety by up to 25% among people with disabilities.
“An inclusive community is important to me because it’s a way to ensure all people are treated equally based off intrinsic worth, not because of what others think a person is worth. An individual, whether they have a disability or not, has the right to decide what to do with their lives.” — Arthur Wirth, Self-Advocate
