INTRODUCTION TO THE ACL
The Association for Community Living in Boulder County is a volunteer advocacy organization. We are one of 1,200 chapters which comprise The Arc (formerly the Association for Retarded Citizens of the United States).
Our Mission
We believe that people with developmental disabilities belong in the community in natural proportions -- to live, to work, and to participate fully in all aspects of community life. The ACL in Boulder County exists to ensure these rights by acting as a catalyst to promote attitudes, practices, programs and policies that result in full participation.
