Our Story
The Arc of Cumberland Valley is a four county chapter of the Arc of Tennessee that strives to create, organize and support activities and services needed to continually improve the safety, and quality of life for citizens with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Wilson, Macon, Trousdale, and Sumner Counties of Tennessee through Advocacy, Training and Education, Public Awareness, Providing Information and Referrals, Collaborating and Networking.
Their cause, Project 22 provides a place to meet new friends and learn new skills. They teach young adults a variety of recreational-leisure, social skills, service learning, independent living/cooking skills, exercise, music/art activities and vocational skills in a fun, group setting. These activities are provided free of charge to the young adults that attend the meetings. They also encourage the young adults involved to give back and volunteer to local organizations in their community. In recent years they’ve helped and donated to the Hendersonville Samaritan Center, Sumner County Humane Society, and planted a Victory Garden at the local VFW Post 9851.
