Work

More than a job, positions at L’Arche Portland offer the chance to become part of a vibrant community where daily life is shared. Here, relationships have the power to transform the way we see ourselves and the world. Working at L’Arche is an opportunity to grow both personally and professionally, to develop skills rooted in empathy and collaboration.

Volunteer

Much of what makes L’Arche Portland a beautiful and welcoming place is made possible by the time and care of volunteers. They bring kindness, presence, and a willingness to share life with others, helping to create moments of joy, connection, and belonging. Would you consider opening your heart and joining us in building a community rooted in mutual care and respect?
