Each day is different at L’Arche! Some might feel like you have quite a bit of free time, but others may feel long and full of responsibilities.
As a full-time assistant, you will earn 20 days of vacation per year. Because we are homes, we are open every day of the year, so you might be scheduled for federal holidays. You will accrue your vacation hours weekly, we ask you complete your orientation before scheduling vacation time (unless it has been previously planned and approved).
Each house has different traditions around winter holidays; Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years. Each year a schedule is built to ensure the core people can participate in their communities and family’s celebrations. Assistants are expected to share time for one or two of the above winter holidays.
