What I liked

I loved working at L'Arche Boston North. The community is so vibrant where Core Members and Assistants offer a deep friendship rooted in mutuality and solidarity. I experienced the most joyous days of life sharing time and was constantly reminded of what it means to work and live with purpose. One of the highlights of my summer at L'Arche Boston North was community gatherings where everyone came together to share a meal and celebrate friendships.

It can be challenging, but when you lean in those challenges are given very positive and formative meaning. L'Arche will always be my little corner of heaven on earth!
