It’s truly that simple. So, we hope to meet with your group soon. We can come into your church, classroom, or firm. Or we can welcome you here for a presentation and some time spent in our homes.
It is a joy to meet the diverse communities and people that visit us.

Looking to provide your employees with an opportunity to make a positive impact in your community? We enjoy hosting local businesses and corporations for service days that are mutually transformative. We regularly host groups for half-day experiences or full volunteer days.
“My visit to L’Arche was marked by a sense of deep friendship that was evident throughout our entire time. Preparing a meal for the community brought me so much joy–it felt just like cooking in my own kitchen for close friends.”

Over the years, we have welcomed students of all ages, church and religious organizations of all kinds, social justice groups, government agencies, journalists, ambassadors, and now… you!
Our time together can include things like presentations, workshops, hands-on volunteering, times of training or formation, and eating dinner together in one of our homes. We’d love to discuss what a mutually enriching experience can look like.
“Of all the International Visitor Leadership Program’s engagements in Washington, the encounter with Laurie stood out as particularly memorable. Laurie’s warmth and the personal, intimate glimpse into daily life at L’Arche offered a unique perspective on American life that other professional meetings simply could not. Forming valuable public-private connections with organizations like L’Arche is essential for building people-to-people connections that advance global citizen diplomacy and drive social progress.”

Let us come to you–in person or virtually! We’d be happy to share a presentation or conduct a workshop at your workplace, school, university, business, church, or place of worship.
We often speak on topics such as inclusion and belonging, community and friendship, the sacred value of every human life, life at L’Arche, and disability rights.
We also have a MyVoice curriculum that teaches practical steps for medical professionals and students to treat patients with intellectual disabilities with respect, dignity, and a high quality of care. We have presented and shared this curriculum with thousands of medical students and professionals nationwide.
“You have no idea what your presence meant to the group of wonderful kids I had this year. You changed minds and touched hearts and helped us see how ‘poor’ we are when we don’t know the gifts of all God’s children. L’Arche came up in thirty out of forty-five final papers, written about in ways that bring my heart to know how neat God’s love is.” FR. RAY KEKMP, SJ, PROFESSOR OF THEOLOGY, GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY
