Summer is here!

Do you have any summer goals? What would feel better than giving some of your time to improve the life of another?

Historically, The Arc has experienced low volunteer numbers during the summer months. You can be the one to change that! With so many options, something is bound to mix well with your other summer plans.

Check out what we have going on this summer and sign up!
Contact Genesssee Klemm, 512.476.7044 ext. 202 to get started.
