We welcome applications from anyone, anywhere in the world. We expect however that you will be able to speak English with some confidence. If possible, we ask you to visit your nearest L'Arche Community so that you can experience L'Arche in your own culture before considering coming to Ireland. We welcome assistants from all over the world but we also particularly need Irish assistants in our communities . Some people join us for one or two years while others discover in L Arche a way of life.
Assistants receive pocket money for their own personal needs and of course free board and lodging.
There is free time each day, one day off per week and a long weekend free per month. But people do not come to L'Arche for the money or the time off. We give thanks for our friends. Our dear friends. We anger each other.
