Human Arc Community Service and Outreach

Since Human Arc's inception in 1984, community involvement and social responsibility are integral to our business success and fundamental to our thinking about our markets, our clients and the people they serve.

This commitment to the community is part of Human Arc's core values:
"We make a difference by loving and caring for people and communities." 

Since 1997, Human Arc associates have contributed 4,500 paid work hours to community organizations, in addition to many hours of their own time.

Additionally, as one of its five major strategic goals, Human Arc works hard to be "admired in the marketplace for our social responsibility."

For its leadership in community involvement, Human Arc has been named the recipient of the prestigious Pillar Award for Community Service.

Human Arc's Community Vision

At Human Arc, We...
...nurture in all associates the value of making a difference, illuminate the spirit of community throughout the organization, and have fun while doing it.

...commit to making community involvement a visible part of daily life from which associates can learn and find motivation and inspiration in the actions of fellow associates.

...offer the opportunity to develop as individuals and associates through involvement in the community.

...encourage opportunities for associates to join together and collectively achieve a positive impact on the community and the populations served through our business.

...recognize and respect associates' unique skills, talents, and passions by promoting and supporting individual contributions to the community, both volunteer and financial.

Human Arc is an organization in which every associate can say, “I truly make a difference. I work at Human Arc.”

Human Arc Makes Strides for the American Cancer Society!

May 22, 2010:  It started as an idea to allow associates to cross departmental lines and share together the experience of volunteering at a single event!  It ended with more than 40 Human Arc associates and their friends and families participating in the Making Strides for Breast Cancer walk in downtown Cleveland on May 15th, 2010 (the event attracted over 3,700 participants from all over northeast Ohio).

Human Arc’s participation in the event was organized by the trio of Heather Ciriaco, Elizabeth McCullough and Andrea Owsiak.  The event gave participating associates the opportunity to volunteer their time at the registration tables along the route or participate in the walk.  Many chose to both volunteer and participate in the walk.  In the end, participating associates were able to raise over $1,100 for the American Cancer Society and contribute over 100 man hours of their time to a genuinely worthwhile cause.  Our associates look forward to participating at the Making Strides for Breast Cancer walk in 2011!

Hats off to these three organizers and all of our associates and their friends and family members who chose to make a real difference on May 15th!
