Inclusion. Involvement. Independence.
Aloha and welcome to The Arc in Hawaii. The Arc in Hawaii is a
501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization founded in 1954 by a group of
parents of children with intellectual disabilities. As the state
chapter of The Arc of
the United States, The Arc in Hawaii is part of the largest
national organization devoted solely to working on behalf of people
with intellectual disabilities.
An estimated 7.2 million Americans have intellectual or a related developmental disability. Through aggressive advocacy at the local and national level, The Arc ensures that these individuals have access to the services and supports they need to grow, develop and participate in communities across the country.
Our Mission Statement
The Arc in Hawaii provides services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities on Oahu. Together with its affiliates, The Arc in Hawaii promotes and protects the rights of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and actively supports their right to be included and fully participate in the community throughout their lifetime.| Upcoming Event Announcements | ||

‘Tis the Season of Giving In September, to celebrate 20 years of being colleagues in the Honolulu food scene, 3660 On the Rise chef-owner Russell Siu and Side Street Inn chef-owner Colin Nishida sponsored a golf tournament together. Both believe in giving back to the community that supports them, so the tournament’s proceeds were donated to several local non-profits, including The Arc in Hawaii. Mahalo nui loa to Chef Siu and Chef Nishida for their generous hearts and for supporting the mission of The Arc in Hawaii.
Lei Fountain, Executive Director, receives The Arc in Hawaii check from Colin Nishida and Russel Siu on December 5 during a celebration at Side Street Inn. |
If you can’t throw a golf tournament, don’t despair. You can still help The Arc in Hawaii. This time of year is when we make our Annual Appeal. During the holidays, we ask our friends to support the work we do on behalf of people with intellectual disabilities and/or developmental disabilities. Please consider a gift to us this year if you can. Mahalo
