How we help

Our stories
Our approach is narrative. We believe people thrive when stories of life-changing relationships between people with and without learning disabilities are told and cherished. Visit news and stories for more.

What we do
At the heart of L’Arche North Carolina is the support we provide to people with intellectual/developmental disabilities. We create programs and homes where life is shared in community together. See our plan for building L’Arche North Carolina for more.

Our impact
Friendships and daily life together are at the heart of our model of individual and societal transformation. We aim to change society’s stance towards hose with I/DD from one of charity to one of contribution. Read our impact page for more.
