L’Arche, “the Ark” in French, is a high-impact international federation of over 140 communities worldwide whosemission is to build community with people of all abilities and to help our society imagine the human family differently, inspiring others to similar initiatives. We do this primarily through small homes where three adults with intellectual disabilities and three assistants share life together, living in the manner of a family, trusting God and living fully engaged lives in the larger community. Each L’Arche community is a grassroots, local effort and L’Arche Atlanta opened our first home in August of 2012.
