Our Organization

The Arc was created 60 years ago by parents determined to ensure the most full and independent lives possible for their children with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The Arc Bay County was formed in 1952 by a group of parents because they found there were no programs or services for their children with disabilities and choices were limited to staying home or being institutionalized.

Our Programs

The Arc Bay County provides a variety of services.  We serve as Representative Payee for over 180 individuals.

We provide advocacy for our members and the community with our Social Security Advocate and Consultant program.  We also provide education and information with our Education Advocacy program.
