Chalk Your Walk for Inclusive Employment!

This October, join The United Arc’s Advocacy Committee in celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM) and workplaces where people of all abilities can contribute, belong, and succeed.

-Chalk your own walk: We’ll provide chalk, messages, and design ideas developed with input from the individuals we support.
-Let our advocates help: Individuals from The United Arc can visit and create a chalk display for you!

Explore and share NDEAM resources with your team—and help spread the message that inclusion works!
