Family Advocacy Program
Denbigh Shelton, Director
The mission of The Arc of New Jersey's Family Advocacy Program is to advocate alongside our families for positive changes in public policy focused on improving the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Now more than ever, we need families to help guide our efforts and priorities; we need YOU to speak directly to New Jersey's policymakers about the issues that affect you and your loved one with a developmental disability!
The Arc of New Jersey's Families Network is a great way to get involved even if you have limited time. You will recieve email updates and action alerts. It takes about fifteen minutes a month and you don't even have to leave your home to participate.
Sign up for the Families Network
We also offer the opportunity for selected family members to become one of The Arc of New Jeresy's Ambassadors to the Legislature, the Governor's Office and Executive Officials. We assist our Family Ambassadors in developing a relationship with their elected officials and provide them with all the information and support they need to talk to their representatives about developmental disabilties issues.
