Greece, N.Y. — The Arc of Monroe held a hiring event on Tuesday to highlight its part-time and weekend roles. The non-profit is hiring Direct Support Professionals. "Those roles are crucial.

"They may be a companion, hairdresser, launderer, all those types of things throughout their shift — really so that population continues to be cared for, and has access to the same things everyone else gets to."
