About ARCH
Mission Statement:
We are a coalition of parents, educators, and community members committed to promoting the well-being of youth in Tredyffrin and Easttown Townships. We serve as a resource to families as they help their children form a positive self-image, make healthy choices, and reduce the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs (ATOD).
ARCH is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving Tredyffrin and Easttown. ARCH stands for "Area Residents Caring and Helping, Inc." and has been committed to helping parents since 1981. ARCH was founded by a group of Tredyffrin-Easttown School District parents in response to a local tragedy. In the early 1980's, the concept of "prevention" was just being developed and underage alcohol consumption was at an all-time high.
