Mission Statement
Through community support, volunteers, and professional staff, our mission is to put Christian principles into practice through affordable programs that build healthy body, mind, and spirit for all.
About This Cause
The Alliance Rec Center (ARC) is the only full-service fitness and recreation facility in town. As a critical resource to our rural community, ARC provides space for residents of all ages to engage in fitness, social connection, and community-building activities. By addressing gaps in our rural community, ARC creates a safe, supportive environment where individuals can focus on their health and community engagement. Our mission is to ensure that every resident, regardless of income, has access to quality, affordable recreational opportunities. ARC offers diverse programs and amenities that foster physical, mental, and social well-being. Like many rural communities, Alliance faces high poverty rates, lower academic achievement, and increased substance use. Rural towns also face a pressing challenge of youth exodus. When young people lack opportunities or feel disconnected, they often leave in search of better prospects. By investing in engaging, supportive environments, communities can reverse this trend and transform into places where young people want to stay, invest, and build a future. ARC plays a crucial role in achieving this transformation. People in our community often look for a place to belong, and ARC is that family entity. ARC offers out-of-school-time programming in a safe, engaging environment after school, during the summer, and now on no-school Fridays. ARC aims to provide all opportunities regardless of income by removing financial barriers for all who qualify. By offering financial assistance for memberships, ARC Afterschool and Summer Camps, we aim to foster an inclusive and welcoming environment where every family can prioritize their child’s well-being.
