Mission

FRIENDS OF L'ARCHE ATLANTA IS A MEMBER OF THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF L'ARCHE.L'ARCHE (A FRENCH WORD MEANING "THE ARK") BUILDS INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES OF FAITH AND FRIENDSHIP WHERE PEOPLE WITH AND WITHOUT INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES SHARE LIFE TOGETHER, MAKING EXPLICIT THE DIGNITY OF EVERY HUMAN BEING.

  • During the fiscal year ending February 28, 2026, FOLA operated the following programs:(i) LArche Home in the Oakhurst neighborhood of Decatur:LArche Atlantas first home, established in 2012, embodies two complementary identities. First and foremost, it is a home where core members and assistants live together in intentional community, sharing daily life and building meaningful relationships. At the same time, it operates as a licensed Community Residential Alternative under the State of Georgias Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, providing professional residential services for adults with developmental disabilities. (ii) LArche Home on Clairemont Avenue in Decatur:LArche Atlantas long-planned second home opened in June 2022 on Clairemont Avenue in Decatur, near Woodlands Garden. Like our founding home in Oakhurst, the Clairemont home is a place where core members and assistants share daily life in intentional community. At the same time, Clairemont also serves as a professional provider of residential services for adults with developmental disabilities. As a licensed Community Residential Alternative under the State of Georgias Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities, the home operates within the states Medicaid waiver system. (iii) Outreach - Building Community through Social Events:Since January 2010, initially in partnership with several local faith communities, and now through a variety of community partnerships, FOLA has been hosting social events for people with and without intellectual disabilities. Through our in-person and virtual gatherings, we bring the celebration, spirituality, and connection found in the LArche home into the broader community.?At Community Events, people with and without disabilities come together in a place of belonging and welcome. These are monthly events, such as an Open Mic Night, Painting in the Park, or our Holiday Party. The purpose of the events is to come together to have fun, to celebrate the unique value of each person, and build relationships of friendship and support.?At our virtual group meet-ups, smaller groups of people with and without disabilities meet consistently around shared interests in virtual spaces. In FY25-26, LArche hosted trivia, cooking, and faith/prayer CONNEXIONS groups.?In FY25-26, LArche partnered with Holy Trinity Parish to bring together members of both communities for a series of weekly dinners. Each meal was followed by an activity designed to build social connections among church members and LArche core members. In FY25-26, 501 unique individuals joined LArche for virtual and in-person events. LArche connected with 74 people with disabilities (40 people with disabilities joined us three or more times). Collectively, we accounted for 1,651 touchpoints, representing the total number of times people engaged across all programs. These touchpoints reflect more than just attendancethey represent meaningful opportunities for connection, helping to reduce isolation, foster a sense of belonging, and build inclusive community for people with and without disabilities.LArche in the World:LArche began in a small town in France in 1964. Three mentwo with developmental disabilities and one withoutcalled the home LArche (pronounced larsh), which is the French word for The Ark. The men developed a profound friendship and sense of community. Inspired by the beauty of this simple life together, others have gone on to begin LArche communities throughout the world.The International Federation of LArche now encompasses 160+ member communities established as independent entities in 38 countries, on 6 continents. LArche creates community for people of all abilities, placing mutual relationships at the heart of the journey together. LArches primary means of doing so is through homes where people with and without developmental disabilities share life together and create relationships with the larger community.
