Be a friend. Be an advocate. Be as you are.

Are you looking for a new adventure rooted in community, new experiences, and friendship?
We’re inviting you to explore becoming a L'Arche Assistant. Assistants come to live in a L’Arche community, provide support, and share in friendships with Core Members (persons with intellectual disabilities).
Assistants find their time at L’Arche to be filled with meaning, growth, friendship, and fun.
Most people who come to work at L'Arche do not have previous experience working with people with disabilities.
​Assistants come to L'Arche from all stages of life:
  • After college
  • As a shift from a previous career
  • After their formal career 
We look for an open heart, a willingness to learn, and a belief in the unique value of every individual.
