L'Arche Edmonton Community

L’Arche Edmonton is a community organization that brings people with and without intellectual disabilities together to build inclusion, belonging, and a more human society. Part of the L’Arche community, it welcomes people from diverse cultures and celebrates the gifts and experiences each person contributes. Its approach is grounded in the belief that every life has equal value and that people can be ambassadors for belonging in their communities.

L’Arche Edmonton’s work takes place in its homes and Day Program, where community life and shared activities create opportunities for connection. The Day Program sometimes hosts a Friday hot lunch, and community members also volunteer with organizations such as Hope Mission. The organization offers volunteer opportunities for people willing to share their time and skills, with a range of ways to participate. It also invites public support through donations, which help sustain its work and create opportunities for people with and without intellectual disabilities to build community together.
