Paid Gap Year Internship

Explore a Meaningful, Paid Gap Year with L’Arche

L’Arche offers a unique opportunity for students seeking a transformative year of service and personal growth before pursuing graduate school or entering the workforce.

As a GAP participant, you'll spend a year living and working alongside adults with intellectual disabilities in our homes, providing care and building relationships. At L’Arche, we transform ordinary moments—like cooking meals, attending appointments, or enjoying coffee outings—into meaningful experiences by sharing them together.

Through this immersive experience, you’ll develop invaluable skills in emotional intelligence, teamwork, and leadership. Many of our participants go on to careers in fields such as medicine, business, education, and social services. GAP participants also have the chance to take on leadership roles through administrative tasks, special projects, and community-building initiatives.

If you're seeking a place where your gifts are not only welcomed but celebrated, and you have a compassionate spirit with a desire to learn and grow, L’Arche could be your next great opportunity.
