About Lifeworks

Lifeworks, formerly The Arc of South Norfolk, began in 1954 by a group of concerned parents who were looking to advocate for services for their children with developmental disabilities. The Lifeworks Mission is: Advocacy, Empowerment, Opportunity. On October 1st, 2020, Lifeworks and The Arc of South Norfolk merged to become one organization with a shared mission and guiding principles. Our Boards of Directors have become one Board and the organization is led by our CEO Dan Burke. To learn more about our History, Leadership and Board-please see that information under “About Us”. This site provides information to our programs, resources and a calendar of our events and activities. Our organization provides a variety of programs, services and supports to the communities of Greater Boston and Norfolk County. Lifeworks is an affiliated chapter of The Arc (of the United States) and alongside our chapter partners, led by Arc Massachusetts, we continue to advocate with persons with disabilities and provide opportunities for empowerment and equity. We are led by our Guiding Principles: Build collaborative partnerships with families, friends, and communities Ensure a continuum of person-centered supports and choices Advocate for the protection of human and civil rights Develop and retain exceptional, supportive staff Provide visionary leadership that is actively engaged in defining future standards of supports Sustain sound stewardship to advance mission, financial, and organizational integrity
