About Arkansas Valley Community Center


Arkansas Valley Community Center Makes a Difference

The Arkansas Valley Community Center Board (AVCC) has been in existence since 1966; begun by a small group of parents wanting a place for their children to attend school and be with others. Individuals with developmental disabilities typically did not attend public school at that time.


Today the AVCC serves approximately 200 children and adults with developmental disabilities in the tri-county area of Otero, Bent, and Crowley Counties.
