L’Arche USA is always looking for new people to join us in building community and creating a more inclusive world for people with disabilities.
To be an Assistant is first and foremost about being a friend. It is about sharing a home, sharing meals, sharing spirituality, and sharing the experiences of daily life. Assistants live and serve alongside people with intellectual disabilities (Core Members) to build an intentional, mutually supportive community where every member is celebrated for their unique gifts, given an equal voice, and motivated toward a greater purpose. While committed to this mission, Assistants are also trained to offer direct support for the various needs of Core Members. This creates a distinct, formative experience in each person’s story that extends L’Arche’s message of both advocacy and hope into the larger community.
Basic Qualifications:
Note: Prior experience working with people with disabilities is not a requirement. L’Arche USA accepts assistant applications on a rolling basis.
