Congratulations Doug on your Eagle Scout Award! Back when Doug was a Boy Scout, he earned the Eagle Scout Award, but through the years and various moves over his lifetime, his award was lost. Through the help of The Arc of Monroe’s Guardianship team and his mother, Doug was awarded once again for his accomplishments. Thank you to the Boy Scouts of America for digging into their records to get this for Doug!

We are honored to be the recent recipient of a grant from The Marilyn Lichtman Foundation contributing towards our DSP in-Training Program. Our DSP in-Training Program is an innovative workforce solution to the lack of professional DSP (Direct Support Professional) caregivers. This involves a paid five-week course with Bryant & Stratton College after which students are deployed to one of their day or residential sites. We are honored to be the recipient of this award!

Kudos to the City of Rochester for creating an ADA Transition Plan for the City's Right-of-Way! Removing physical barriers for sidewalks, crosswalks, bus stops, and other pedestrian focused infrastructure, is a huge step forward in ensuring that people with disabilities can access our city as easily as non-disabled people. Just another way the ROC is leading the way! https://lnkd.in/eRQSay2D

A BIG thank you to The Bonadio Group for spending your Purpose Day with us beautifying The Arc of Monroe’s Fairport Day Services. On Bonadio Purpose Day, offices are closed so all employees can volunteer their time to the local non-profit of their choice. We appreciate you for choosing us!
