Paid Gap Year Internship

L’Arche offers a unique, paid gap year experience for students looking to take a year to serve others and grow as a person prior to applying to graduate school or joining the workforce.

L'Arche GAP participants will spend time with - and provide care for - adults with intellectual disabilities in our homes for one year. Here at L’Arche, we strive to make the ordinary moments of each day – cooking, attending appointments, going out for coffee - a bit more extraordinary by doing it together. Assistants learn invaluable skills related to emotional intelligence and teamwork while building relationships with a diverse network of people, preparing them for any career path in their future. including medical school, business school, education, or social services. 

If you are looking for a place where your gifts are not only embraced, but celebrated, and you have a compassionate spirit and a willingness to learn and grow, L’Arche could be the perfect fit for your next opportunity.
