Thank you for your desire to get involved with L'Arche Atlanta! L'Arche Atlanta builds inclusive communities where people with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) share life and friendships. We aim to foster mutual relationships, celebrate the unique value of every person, and transform society through community and connection. We envision a world where every individual, regardless of ability, can contribute meaningfully to society and experience a sense of belonging. Through shared lives and authentic relationships, we demonstrate that inclusion enriches everyone.
There are many ways to get involved as a volunteer. Whatever your schedule, skills, or interest, your time and service go a long way in creating a long lasting impact. Our L’Arche Atlanta community gives witness to the beauty and impact of meaningful relationships among people with and without disabilities.
Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer at our next Community Event or Meetup L'Arche's community events extend our mission beyond our home to the many families in Atlanta that include adults with disabilities. We are often looking for help with setting up, facilitating, and photographing these events. This is a GREAT way for individuals, families, corporate or student groups to get involved with L'Arche Atlanta.
Host Virtual Trivia Every other Tuesday, 15-20 people meet for online Trivia. You'll have a chance to connect with our trivia community while learning fun new facts. Co-Hosts join Becca on the call as our "question reader" for the game. Questions will be sent to you ahead of time so all you will have to do is join the call and get ready to enjoy an hour of CONNEXIONS.
