Start a Community Near You

Become a Founder of a New L’Arche Family

L’Arche is a collection of friends and family members with and without intellectual disabilities. While we share life together locally, we’re also part of a large international community. Starting a L’Arche community in your area is a true commitment to diversity, understanding, and hope.

Build Your Unique L’Arche Community

Start the Journey Today

At L’Arche, community founders come to us through a variety of means – some through inspiration about our mission, others through a personal connection to the people we serve. No matter your reason, starting a L’Arche community can have a sweeping positive impact around you. It’s a process that requires patience and commitment, but is well worth the effort.
