The Arc of Cumberland & Perry Counties is affiliated with The Arc, The Arc of PA and other local chapters throughout the Commonwealth.

Today, The Arc of Cumberland and Perry Counties (CPARC)
provides programs and services to over 1,700 people per year
from Cumberland, Perry and Dauphin counties.

The Arc of Cumberland and Perry Counties (CPARC), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was founded in 1953 by a group of concerned parents who wanted to provide an alternative to institutionalization for their children with special needs.

Since the 1950s, CPARC has been promoting the abilities of people with developmental disabilities and other special needs. We help people with special needs from Cumberland, Perry, Dauphin and York Counties to live and work in their communities, and we strive for their inclusion in social, recreational, and community activities of their choice.

To those enrolled in our programs, the benefits are far reaching.

CPARC works to eliminate the barriers to employment for people with disabilities by teaching job skills.
