The Arc Northern Chesapeake RegionAdvocacy, Resources, and Community Building For People With Developmental DisabilitiesFor over fifty years, The Arc Northern Chesapeake Region has helped people with developmental disabilities build better lives one person at a time. We provide support services and advocacy to 400 adults and children and their families in Harford, Cecil, and Kent Counties.

We are a private, non-profit local chapter of The Arc of Maryland and The Arc of The United States, the largest volunteer organization in the world devoted exclusively to improving the quality of life for all adults and children with developmental disabilities.
