The Arc will host open house events at its program sites throughout Ventura County in August.
VENTURA, Calif. - Californer -- The Arc of Ventura County is marking 70 years of improving the quality of life for local residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). To celebrate the organization and the people it impacts, The Arc will host open house events at its program sites throughout Ventura County in August. The public is invited to the free events that will provide an opportunity to learn more about the services and programs available in their communities.
"As The Arc of Ventura County celebrates its 70th anniversary, we reflect on how our programs and services have evolved over the years as we empower our program participants with the tools, skills, and accessibility they need to thrive," says Mary Platt, The Arc president. "The dedication and support from the community has been invaluable, and we look forward to continuing this journey together."

Last year, The Arc assisted over 700 individuals and their families. Adult day programs, offered at seven Ventura County locations, help participants develop friendships, express creativity, provide valued volunteer service and encourage further independence.
The Arc's supported employment services enable individuals to discover their employment goals, interests and strengths through job development and training that leads to successful employment placement in Ventura County. Its independent living services provide training and support on effective decision-making and daily living skills that assist individuals to live successfully and independently in their community.
"Before The Arc of Ventura County was 'pioneered' 70 years ago by its founding families, individuals with IDD did not have exclusive opportunities for services and support. Now, 70 years later, the individuals we serve are included and are proudly contributing members of their communities," says Esther Anaya, executive director. "The future of The Arc of Ventura County is one that continues to educate individuals of their rights, and supports a path to independence through our programs, services and the mentorship of our dedicated staff."
