Support The Arc of the Ozarks' Unfunded Programs

Education and Recreation

• Our Ed/Rec program offers services to individuals who want to broaden social skills and develop independence and are encouraged to participate in one of our many activities. The Arc of the Ozarks is proud to offer access to a gymnasium, a pool, summer camp, and other fun opportunities.
• How your donation could help
  • Education and Recreation is a completely unfunded program and relies heavily on our community partners to support all of the amazing activities that they do.
  • Your donation will go into a fund to help sustain operational demands, equipment needs, and supply needs.

Rivendale Institute of Learning and Center for Autism

• Rivendale's prime objective is to help all students seeking an education to become independent young adults who can successfully navigate a variety of mainstream situations. Rivendale does not provide a one-size-fits-all approach to learning. This means that special education programs are tailored to each child’s skill set, as we understand that each child has unique social and educational needs. It offers families an alternative to public education that allows students to be able to explore their full potential.
• How your donation could help
  • Rivendale Institute of Learning and Center for Autism is not a funded school. This means it relies on the support of fundraising and community partners to be able to provide much-needed educational services to children.
  • Your donation to Rivendale would go towards covering program and therapeutic expenses for the students, as well as equipment needs.

Infinity Academy

• Infinity is a private school that serves middle and high school students with autism, developmental disabilities, or other learning differences who need an alternative to traditional schooling. The goal of Infinity Academy is to help students explore, grow, and reach their full potential based on their unique goals and strengths. Our staff works closely with the students and families in our program to create an individualized learning plan that helps students attain the social and academic skills they need to become independent adults.
• How your donation could help
  • Infinity Academy is not a funded school, so your donations go directly towards the tools and materials that these students need to be able to thrive in their learning environment.
