1956 – The Arc Caddo-Bossier – The Junior League adopted the C-BARC occupation center as a project in 1956

in order to provide evaluation, training, and services for intellectually and developmentally impaired people who were capable of eventually becoming self-supporting citizens in the community. Because of matching federal funds, C-BARC was able to provide training for people between the ages of 16 and 36. For those subjects able to work in a typical environment, training is provided along with job placement and social contact. Others in the community assumed this project in 1960. C-BARC is now known as The Arc of Caddo-Bossier and is a United Way Agency.
