The Associated Recreation Council (ARC) is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Seattle that collaborates with Seattle Parks and Recreation to provide recreational and lifelong-learning programs, classes and activities for residents. Governance relies on a board and 37 advisory councils composed of citizen volunteers who help connect the community to citywide recreation services. ARC emphasizes responsiveness to communities and has established an Equity Team to promote race and social justice values through program design and staff development. Founded in 1975 as an independent nonprofit, ARC operates within the recreational facilities sector and serves Seattle by linking city services to local residents. It coordinates volunteers through its board and advisory councils to support the delivery of citywide recreation services in Seattle. A recent development notes ongoing collaboration with the City of Seattle to staff positions in the Recreation Division, reflecting a continued partnership with Seattle Parks and Recreation.
