July 26, 2021 is the Americans with Disabilities Act’s 31st anniversary. In honor of the ADA anniversary, we are donating all profits from our Lead Where You Are book and eBook to The Arc from July 14th-31st.
The Arc is a disability awareness charity. Their mission is to promote and protect the human rights of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They support individuals with disabilities with a goal of having full inclusion and participation in their communities. The organization works hard to ensure individuals get this full inclusion in their work, community, travel, worship, and every other aspect of their lives. The Arc has been driving change for 69 years and has over 1000 national programs. They offer various ways to get involved: You can visit their website to become a member, become a sponsor, donate, and even open your own chapter.
At Cornerstone Learning we believe in following the C.A.R.E model to achieve success and engaged performance. The Arc does an excellent job in following this model of clarity, alignment, resources, and enabling.
As a charitable organization, it is extremely important to obtain and sustain clarity throughout the organization. They do this by having a clear mission, clearly stated to the employees, volunteers, and donors. This mission, to create and spread awareness of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities to gain and receive fairness within their community, enhances individuals’ reason to believe in this organization. It encourages people to donate, encourages employees to keep working for an incredible and needed purpose, and encourages individuals with disabilities to keep striving for equality.
This organization also shows alignment within their organization. Everyone within this organization is striving for the same goal and everyone knows how to achieve success and why they should help this organization. Because all people (executive, employees, volunteers, and donors) are aligned, wanting this organization to be successful so individuals with disabilities can have equality, The Arc can be successful in its endeavor to spread disability awareness.
The Arc invests in resources to help their organization be successful. They talk to individuals with disabilities and assist them in getting successful careers, they provide fact sheets, and they host webinars. They provide training and educational resources to help encourage and benefit their employees.
The Arc enables top performance within their organization by maintaining a positive and helpful workplace and performance environment, and by following through on their stated strategies of building the movement, speaking truth to anyone who will listen, advocating, extending their reach, and innovating with new and improved programs. Ultimately, The Arc promotes equality, fairness, and inclusion within their teams, chapters, and webinars.
