SCTP carries on the mission of the former Santa Cruz County Arc founded in 1968. Our members develop a vision for their future as we assist them in participating and contributing to the community, and in making responsible choices. Those in our programs learn to exercise more control over their lives, to establish and maintain relationships, and to practice self-respect, acceptance, and personal safety. We value:
-The development and fostering of personal relationships with family and friends
-Individual and family initiative in making choices and expressing preferences
-Equal access to quality services and supports for all individuals
-Individuals as welcomed, participating and contributing members in all aspects of
family and community life
-The rights of all individuals and the preservation of their worth, value and dignity

Today's the day! Join the worldwide movement to support non-profits this giving season. We have a special project at DTTA, our training program for social skills, making friends, and connecting to the community.

So many friends and family come to events, we'd like to have even more, but we need more bathroom space. Our $5000 project will make more time for fun, learning, and exercise for all who come to visit our program.

Please donate today, any amount is appreciated. Use the link below to donate and share our project with others! Thank you!
