A few things to know about Easterseals Arc:
• We are non-profit. We care about the individuals we serve, not shareholders, and we seek out donors and community partners to help meet needs not covered by our participants' benefits.
• We are local. Although we are affiliated with two national organizations, Easterseals and The Arc, we are an independent agency with deep community ties in northeast Indiana.
• We have history. Easterseals Arc was formed in 1954 by a small group of Fort Wayne parents who held a dream for their children with developmental disabilities. Originally known as the Johnny Appleseed School, the founding mission was to educate children with special needs.
When you work for Easterseals Arc, you can help someone learn new skills, visit new places, see new things, and make new friends. More importantly, you can help people believe in themselves.
