Caring requires connection.  Both sides must be balanced. Each one must engage. As assistants care for core members so do core members care for assistants. This mutuality is what makes working for L’Arche special. We listen deeply to the needs of each member of the community. Just as we support core members, assistants are asked to grow as individuals, challenged to stretch themselves as professionals, and encouraged to make lasting friendships. Experiencing L’Arche is a life-changing opportunity.

Assistants come to L’Arche for many reasons: current college students seeking a unique journey during a summer or gap year, college graduates preparing for a career, to receive important career experience, and others come seeking a change from an unfulfilling career. L’Arche offers heart-felt lessons to all those seeking a place to belong. Learn more about working at L’Arche.
