Community Connections Partner Program CCPP - is a special friendship created when a volunteer is connected with an individual with I/DD. Together they form a community partnership spending a few hours each month exploring activities they both enjoy, for example going to the movies, eating out, playing sports, taking a hike. d) Agency's History with Providing These Services: The Arc of the Triangle originally formed thirty-eight years ago to serve individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) living in Orange County, North Carolina. Where no other similar agencies existed, The Arc identified the need to provide people with healthy and purposeful life choices. Through the success of these programs The Arc expanded to include Supported Employment and Social and Volunteer Opportunities. What began then as a small organization in 1979, The Arc of Orange County, recently merged with Durham and Wake County, forming The Arc of the Triangle. The goal is to provide Durham and Wake County residents with the same high quality and high level of service that Orange County residents have become accustomed to over the years. Other programs and agencies that were similar to The Arc have gone out of business due to decreased funding or due to a lack of quality and comprehensive services. e) Other Pertinent Agency Information (Ex.
