Be the change
Your voice, your perspective, your ideas can make a difference.
At The Arc of King County, we teach civic engagement and leadership skills and connect people to opportunities so they can be the change they want to see.
Our approach
We use a steps-to-inclusion framework, helping people move from being concerned about something, to being able to assess who to contact, what to ask for and how to influence. This involves a mix of engagement opportunities and issue education through newsletter, social media, and workshops.
If you want to influence, you need to understand what is going on and feel confidant using your voice.
Our programs
King County Coalition for Developmental Disabilities - An informal network of folks with disabilities, their families, and allies that works to protect and promote the rights of people with disabilities by engaging with legislative leaders and other government officials.
The Inclusion Academy - For folks with disabilities, their families, and allies. This a cohort-style leadership development program, with a focus on creating opportunities by embedding inclusion, membership, and belonging into public systems - like our schools.
Investing in Student Potential - A statewide group pushing to ensure every learner gets what they need, when they need it. We helped found and now sit on the steering committee of this coalition to advance quality education for students with disabilities.
- Consider joining! Membership is open to individuals or organizations.
