Welcome to The Arc of Laramie County!
The Arc of Laramie County is committed to carrying out the mission of protecting and promoting the rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families through innovative programs. Our initiatives touch almost every aspect of life in the community. By sharing knowledge and conducting training’s and events, our programs help connect communities and inform efforts to broaden inclusion in Laramie County and across the country.
Thank You to Our 2025 Sponsors: Making Inclusion Possible
The Arc of Laramie County has spent over 70 years fighting for disability rights, and we’ve never done it alone. Our 2025 sponsors made our work possible—from community events that reduce isolation to advocacy training that empowers families to employment programs that break down barriers.
This year, we served hundreds of individuals and families in Laramie County. We hosted the 43rd Annual Capitol Tree Lighting Ceremony. We provided educational seminars. We connected people with I/DD to jobs, resources, and community. None of this happens without support.

Looking Ahead to 2026
We’re already planning 2026 events, including the Mardi Gras Gone Wrong Murder Mystery and the 44th Annual Capitol Tree Lighting Ceremony. We’ll continue fighting for community inclusion over segregation, accessible employment, and disability rights as human rights.

Building Community for All
For over 70 years, The Arc has championed the rights of people with disabilities to live independently with proper support and lead fulfilling lives as valued community members. Despite institutions still existing in 36 states that segregate and limit choices, we believe everyone benefits when people with disabilities are woven into the fabric of our communities. With the invaluable support of our members, caregivers, and neighbors, The Arc of Laramie County continues to be a beacon of hope for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Community integration isn’t just beneficial—it’s essential for individuals with disabilities to develop a sense of belonging and contribute to a more inclusive society. In 2025, our team is planning various events that promote social interaction and community engagement, including movie nights, educational seminars, and community gatherings. These social activities serve as transformative tools that improve mental health, enhance learning opportunities, and increase physical well-being. Join our mission today by volunteering, donating, or attending an event to help create a more inclusive Laramie County where everyone can thrive.
