Why we exist

We exist to turn the hope for care and friendship into communities of belonging. Our story is rooted in the spirit of inclusion and shaped by the members of L’Arche past and present. We envision and inspire a world that welcomes difference and celebrates the gifts of each person.

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.

“I think we all may have heard that diversity is being invited to the party, and inclusion is being asked to dance. At L’Arche, my brother is invited to dance at the party.”

Felicia, Friend of L’Arche North Carolina
