Our L’Arche Spokane community gives witness to the beauty and impact of meaningful relationships among people with and without disabilities. Our volunteers are crucial to our success.
The volunteer roles listed below are what typically look for, however, due to Covid restrictions our current volunteer opportunities are limited. Please contact us for more information.
