A Note from our Executive Director

Watching the final dress rehearsal for Dancing With Our Diamonds, the talent and joy expressed by the dancers, and the pride that glowed from parents and loved ones, gave me goosebumps. Not only is Dancing With Our Diamonds a successful fundraiser for The Arc of Greensboro, it provides an opportunity to highlight our community in a positive and fun way. You do not have to personally know these individuals to see they are people with abilities, with loved ones, who can and do live fulfilled lives while contributing to our community.

Sometimes I am asked why people who do not have a loved one or a direct connection to someone with an intellectual/developmental disability should be interested in the work of The Arc of Greensboro. When making hard choices of where to donate and which of many worthy organizations to support, why should The Arc of Greensboro be on your short list? Very simply because our folks are an integral part of the fabric of the larger Greensboro community.

Have you noticed the young man who bags your groceries at the local grocery store? Have you met the gentleman who is washing the dishes and pots and pans at your dad’s retirement home? Do you know who scrubs the floors and keeps things sanitary for your dog’s daycare? These folks are part of The Arc of Greensboro and part of your community. Their access to jobs, sports teams, dances and other activities that make for a fulfilled life, depends on the support of our entire community, not just family members and friends.

I can give you at least six reasons to support The Arc of Greensboro, our fabulous Dancing With Our Diamonds 2023 dancers - Samuel, Brooks, Bradley, Sydni Rose, Nikki and Maria Paula! Go to our website, or click the links above, and watch videos of their dances – I promise, it will be time well spent.

With Your Help..

The United Way of Greater Greensboro's staff recently came out to The Arc of Greensboro to volunteer their time. With their help, we planted new vegetation outside, cleaned up the parking lot, fixed the fence between businesses, and removed trash from the forested area at the back of our building. Thank you to everyone involved for volunteering your time to make our new space even better!

Getting To Know Us

Billie Jones, an Employment Specialist with The Arc of Greensboro writes: "I recently had the opportunity to work with Darion Farrow (pictured right) when he was first hired in the dish room at Harmony Place in Greensboro. I am so proud of his progress and his willingness to mentor another Project SEARCH intern in his third externship. Both Darion and Deshawn Williams (pictured left) are doing very well and learning to navigate not only the dish room but also transportation to and from work. Deshawn did so well in his externship he was also hired at Harmony. The Arc greatly appreciates their mentor and supervisor Chris Cason (pictured center) and all the staff at Harmony for hiring and supporting Darion and Deshawn at their first jobs!"
