The Central Aroostook ARC  is a non-profit 501c3 organization founded in 1959. Today, we offer a wide range of services to people of all ages. To this day, a committed Board of Directors guides Central Aroostook ARC.
Fifty-one percent of the Directors are parents or siblings of the people in our  programs. We could not exist without the support of our local communities, the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, the United Way of Aroostook and other charitable organizations, the Department of Education and the Aroostook County Commissioners.
