The Arc Fond du Lac Programs & Services

Adult Day Services

The Opportunities Center (OC) at The Arc Fond du Lac is a community-based adult day habilitation program. The OC supports people with I/DD in achieving greater independence and integration in the community through community integration, skill development, and socialization. The OC serves approximately 50 clients Monday to Friday from 8:00am to 3:00pm. The OC is equipped to provide a variety of levels of care to clients. The OC follows State of Wisconsin program guidelines but is not a licensed program.

A person-centered program, the OC routinely solicits feedback from its clients regarding activities and programming. Recently, the OC launched the “Self Selection Space” – a dedicated space for activities that clients choose. Programs in the Self Selection Space have included adaptive dance, Traveling Trunks (display from the Fond du lac County Historical Society), Health Matters (healthy lifestyles program with The Arc Wisconsin), yoga, card making, and more. These programs are led by community members allowing The Arc’s staff to focus on supporting clients. 

Youth Services

The Youth Community Enrichment Program (YCEP) provides after school care, in-home respite, and summer day camp services for children with I/DD. YCEP staff receive additional training to best support children with I/DD including training in non-violent crisis intervention strategies. The Arc Fond du Lac has dedicated space for youth services at its main location including both a sensory room and a destimulation room. Additionally, The Arc’s outdoor spaces include a variety of opportunity for learning and play including gardens, accessible playground equipment, and a covered pavilion with seating.

Transportation

The Arc Fond du Lac manages a fleet of 23 vehicles to provide transportation for its own programs as well as limited external contracted routes. The Arc has 4 passenger cars, 8 minivans, 5 ADA-accessible minivans, 1 Transit ADA-accessible van, 3 ADA-accessible mini buses, 1 mini bus, and a maintenance truck. Each residential facility operated by The Arc has a vehicle assigned and held at that location. Contracted external routes support other provider agencies as well as local school districts.

Community-based Enrichment Services

The Community Enrichment Program (CEP) is a community-supported and community-based program that provides recreational and social activities for people with I/DD. The CEP program hosts approximately 20 evening and weekend activities per month on a $5/$10/$15 cost scale with transportation available for $5 roundtrip. CEP logs hundreds of individual contacts with people with I/DD each month. Approximately 75% of CEP programs occur at a community location or with a community partner business. The Arc Fond du Lac’s Special Olympics agency (4-12) is hosted within CEP. The Arc participates in a number of Special Olympics sports in addition to offering other athletic programs including inclusive fitness, powerlifting, soccer, jump rope clinics, and more.

Residential Services

Special Living Services (SLS) at The Arc Fond du Lac supports 37 residential clients. The Arc operates 8 Adult Family Homes and 1 Community Based Residential Facility. The Arc owns 6 of the 9 homes; 3 homes are owned by Arc Housing. There are 3 homes in North Fond du Lac and 6 homes in Fond du Lac. The majority of The Arc’s homes are staffed from 3pm to 8am Monday to Friday and 24 hours on the weekends. All of The Arc’s homes allow for sleep time and provide staff quarters. A hallmark of the SLS program is that the staff in the home when residents go to bed are the same staff present when residents wake up.

Arc Housing

The Arc Fond du Lac has a management relationship with Arc Housing, a distinct non-profit managing 3 apartment complexes and 3 homes as part of a HUD program. The Arc provides oversight to the Arc Housing manager, manages the facilities, and staffs the 3 homes (part of the SLS program).

Watercourse Counseling Center operates a community clinic in South Minneapolis. We offer individual, family, and couples counseling for adults and children.

We also help clients with addiction and impulse control, parenting and healthy development, relationships, sexuality and sexual orientation, identity, and spiritual connection.

School-based Counseling:

Students and families are significantly more likely to access school-based services than they are to complete a referral to an outside agency. In order to make services accessible to children and families in the community, we partner with Minneapolis Public Schools to operate mental health clinics within 12 schools across South and North Minneapolis. These services are designed to support and enhance education outcomes for students at risk.

The Management Center

Overview
Headquarters: 
Washington D.C., DC, USA
Website: 
managementcenter.org
Annual Budget : 
$10-50M
Size: 
11-50 employees
Founded: 
2006
About Us
Areas of Focus: 
Education
Mission: 

Our mission is to help social change leaders learn how to build and run more effective organizations so they can deliver great results.

Programs: 

We want to see more social change in this country, and we know that producing it is hard. Disparities in money and power mean that social justice advocates need to fight not just as effectively as their opponents, but more effectively. That’s where The Management Center comes in: we help social justice leaders learn how to build and run more effective organizations, so that they can get better results.

As the go-to resource on effective management for social change organizations, we’ve worked with more than 100 of the most influential progressive groups in the country and trained thousands of individual managers on the practices that help high-performing organizations deliver lasting results over time.

We offer both intensive hands-on coaching services for executive directors and their senior leadership teams, as well as a series of management training courses that supply practical advice and tools that managers can put to work immediately.

Since 2006, The Management Center has:

  • shaped the management practices of more than 10,000 individual leaders through our training program
  • helped more than 350 organizations get better results through stronger management
  • distributed more than 25,000 copies of our book Managing to Change the World
Why Work For Us?: 

5 Reasons to Work with The Management Center

1. By helping our clients, you’ll have an impact on the most important issues facing our country, like immigration, racial justice, health care, educational equity, and climate change.

2. Our clients are amazing people. You’ll work with leaders who go straight from talking with you to testifying on the Hill, leading a rally at the state capitol, or planning a new grassroots campaign with teams of organizers, and most days when you pick up the newspaper (or okay, read it online), you’ll see the results of their work.

3. Our team is awesome. You’ll be working with a group of smart, thoughtful, and genuinely nice people (at least we think we are!) who come from a wide range of professional and personal backgrounds.

4. We’re committed to making our own organization one where people from all backgrounds – and in particular people with marginalized identities – thrive. While we have a lot of learning still to do, we’re working hard to incorporate equity and inclusion into all aspects of our work. That’s leading us to do things like proactively seeking to work with more groups led by and for people of color, supporting identity-based caucuses for our staff (we have people of color and indigenous people, LGBTQ, and white-identified allies caucuses), and making sure each person on our team continually hones their own cultural proficiency skills. More in the works here!

5. We try to practice what we preach: great management. You’ll have clear expectations, receive feedback (some of it even useful), get opportunities to grow and develop, and do it all in a culture that keeps the focus on real-world results and aspires to exhibit excellence with heart.

And a bonus reason… 6. We treat people well, from excellent salaries and benefits to flexible work arrangements to unusually good snacks.
