Their mission is to provide services exclusively to disabled/disadvantaged groups, children, women, and other minority groups which include educational programs for children, health care treatments, youth sports, culture events and family security services. They also help with planning, funding, constructing, and maintaining community center(s) for there groups as they advocate to build a fair and safe society.
The AHRC advocates for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to lead full and equitable lives.They call for change in legislation and public policy, and advocate for better education, living arrangements, prospects for work and fuller lives in the community.
