Adult Community Enrichment and Support (ACES)

The Arc's Adult Community Enrichment and Support (ACES) is a program that offers adults an opportunity to learn a variety of skills, expand and explore new areas of interest, and become more independent within the community. Adults participating in this program are interviewed by facilitators to determine their areas of interest. Then a plan is designed for each individual so they can participate in extracurricular activities that hold a particular interest to them.
