Rebecca Van Galder's Company Details
L'Arche Atlanta is a high-impact, grassroots community that believes that beauty is found in every person and community forms when we discover that we are interdependent and every person has gifts to contribute to us and we to them.Founded by Jean Vanier in France in 1964, L'Arche communities bear witness to the reality that persons with intellectual disabilities possess inherent qualities of welcome, wonderment, spirituality, and friendship. L'Arche, "the Ark" in French, is a high-impact international federation of over 140 communities worldwide whose mission is to build community with people of all abilities and to help our society imagine the human family differently, inspiring others to similar initiatives. We do this primarily through small homes where three adults with intellectual disabilities and three assistants share life together, living in the manner of a family, trusting God and living fully engaged lives in the larger community.
