L’Arche Long Island’s vision is to advance the rights and inclusion of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Long Island, New York through inclusive leadership, engagement, and bringing the power of community to life, changing society so people living with intellectual disabilities can thrive.
We believe that people with and without intellectual disabilities are equals.
We believe that diversity enriches all of our lives and that people with intellectual disabilities have a huge amount to offer to society.
We believe that when people with and without intellectual disabilities spend time together, it can transform us all.
We believe in the importance of spirituality and the search for meaning in life. L’Arche is rooted in the Christian gospel and continues to be shaped by people of different beliefs, practices and religions.
We believe that L’Arche communities come in many shapes and we must continue to adapt to a changing world.
