Join our volunteer database via the form below and receive first word on upcoming needs. We will be in touch as opportunities to serve arise.
Interested in long-term volunteering opportunities or board membership?
Individuals interested in working in a sustained capacity with our core members must apply through our HR department. Complete the form and indicate “ongoing” as your preference, along with a note or two about your qualifications for working with adults with intellectual disabilities. If there are such opportunities available, we will follow up directly and ask for your resume to begin the interview process.
Volunteer Work for Groups
L’Arche St. Louis welcomes schools, clubs, businesses, and educational groups for one-day community service opportunities. If your organization is interested in experiencing hands-on the magic of L’Arche, submit the form and tell us a little bit about your organization. *Learn more about corporate volunteering opportunities on our donate page.
