As one of the first organizations in Florida to serve children with special needs, Pine Castle helped pioneer the philosophy that individuals with intellectual/developmental (I/D) differences have the right to live whole and productive lives. Pine Castle was founded in 1952 by a group of 33 families of children with I/D differences. No local programs or schools existed at that time to provide support services, except for a few distant residential institutions run by the state. Parents were forced to choose between institutionalization or keeping their children at home. In 1965, the public school system initiated a program for students with special needs. At that time, Pine Castle transitioned to a work and life skills training and activity center for adults with differences. Today, Pine Castle is a leader in serving adults with intellectual and developmental differences and providing support to their families across Northeast Florida. More than 300 clients come through our programs daily, learning valuable skills. Pine Castle offers many opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental differences, from basic academic training and hands-on job experience to leisure activities and life skills coaching. MISSION Our mission is to empower adults with intellectual and developmental differences through opportunities to learn, work, and connect. VISION Our vision is for a community where persons with intellectual and developmental differences achieve their potential for independence. CORE VALUES Embrace Differences Respect Personal Choice Care Deeply About Each Individual Empower Through Education Transform Our Community

Mission: To serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to achieve their full potential and to participate in community life. Vision: A community where disability is a distinction without a difference, where individuals will have choices on how they live, learn, work, worship, and play. The Arc Jacksonville has served our community’s citizens with intellectual and developmental disabilities since 1965. The organization began within a grassroots movement to provide educational opportunities for special needs persons who were not well-served by the public education system.

Today The Arc has an annual operating budget of $7.6 million, serves approximately 400 individuals daily and provides employment for approximately 130 staff members as well as service opportunities for 24 AmeriCorps and 6 VISTA members. Services are rendered from three main locations and five group homes.

(Advocacy, Support and Knowledge).
