Advocating personal growth and community inclusion for all we serve.

Bristol Adult Resource Center (BARC) is a private, non-profit, 501(c)3, United Way funded organization established in 1957 at a time when education, services, and employment were not available for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

BARC is comprised of professionals, parents, educators, business leaders, and volunteers who are dedicated to providing services to and improving the quality of life for the people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the greater Bristol area.
