Santa Cruz Training Programs, Inc Information

The Santa Cruz County Arc was formed by a group of parents in 1968 to provide programs for people with disabilities in Nogales and the surrounding area of Santa Cruz County. The goal was to establish a community alternative to state institutions for people with developmental disabilities and their families in ambos Nogales. With limited resources and lots of community support, the SCC Arc started providing a few services that grew and evolved into what today has become the "Santa Cruz Training Programs, Inc." (SCTP). We now serve over 85 people ages birth to elderly in a variety of services provided throughout the Santa Cruz County area. Today most people with developmental disabilities do not need to leave their local community to get the services and support they need. The mission of SCC Arc and its affiliate, SCTP, has always been to serve the local community by striving to provide a better life for all of its citizens with developmental disabilities. Vision Statement All individuals with disabilities are valued members of the community, where based on their own choices and abilities, they actively lead full and productive lives. Mission Statement The mission of Santa Cruz Training Programs, Inc. is to provide the necessary training, direct care, and support for people with disabilities, by working in partnership with others in our community.
