L'Arche Atlanta

L'Arche Atlanta We are people, with and without developmental disabilities, sharing life in communities of faith.

L'Arche Atlanta is an Atlanta-based nonprofit that supports adults with intellectual and development disabilities (IDD). In the L'Arche Atlanta community, people with IDD (whom we call Core Members) are not clients, patients, or recipients of services. Instead, they are friends, teachers, and companions, who, through daily acts of care, trust, and friendship, develop into ambassadors of compassion and leaders for social change. L'Arche Atlanta launched its first house in 2012 in the Oakhurst neighborhood of Decatur and is now one of over 150 global communities in the International Federation of L'Arche. L'Arche was founded in 1964 as a response to the mass institutionalization of people with intellectual disabilities and has since spread to over 140 communities in 35 countries. For over 50 years, L’Arche has brought about a revolution in quality of life for people who have developmental disabilities.

Loneliness is sitting at a table with no one across from you, each bite a reminder of the silence.
Connection is laughter clinking against plates, stories being passed around as freely as the breadbasket.
At L’Arche, meals aren’t just food—they’re moments of belonging. 💙
Join us at Threads of Connection on September 14th at the Trolley Barn to help build more tables where everyone has a seat.

In Our Community...

...adults with and without intellectual and developmental disabilities share life and friendships in community.

In the L'Arche Atlanta community, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (who we call core members) are not clients, patients, or recipients of services. Instead, they are friends, teachers, and companions, who, through daily acts of care, trust, and friendship, develop into ambassadors of compassion and leaders for social change.

We are different ages, come from different home towns, have different family backgrounds and faith traditions but share a desire to live a full life, be loved as we are, and, by sharing our gifts, to blossom into our most authentic selves.
