Expanding abilities one person at a time

Welcome to Coarc

The Arc Columbia-Saratoga_Primary LogoIt’s official! Two of the region’s most trusted human services organizations have officially joined together.  As of June 1st, Coarc has unified with Saratoga Bridges, the Saratoga County chapter of The Arc NY to create The Arc Columbia-Saratoga. This proactive unification will ensure long-term stability, expand opportunities, strengthen services, invest in employees, and better serve people and their families in both counties. The unification brings together decades of combined experience, deep community roots, and a shared commitment to person-centered services.  The Arc Columbia-Saratoga will support people and families across both counties under one mission:  Together, we expand opportunities so that every person can pursue their goals and live a life of purpose and belonging.  Stay tuned for information regarding our new website and our new unified page. We thank you all for your support, patience, and dedication as we move into to this next chapter. Together, We Make a Difference!


Coarc is the Columbia County chapter of The Arc New York. Since 1965, we have been an advocate and resource for people with intellectual and developmental differences and their families. We provide comprehensive services to children and adults, both in the community and at more than 20 Coarc locations.
