Community Outreach Program

L’Arche St. Louis cares for our city and our neighbors, and we want to share our message of hope and belonging with you! If you are interested in hosting L’Arche for a speaking event or day visit to your class, church, or other group, please contact our office.

Previous Community Outreach

L’Arche St. Louis has visited numerous schools, businesses, and fellow religious nonprofit organizations throughout east Missouri and southwest Illinois. We take pride in the relationships built through our community outreach programs, and celebrate each new opportunity to welcome others on our mission to create a world where everyone belongs. 

Outside, a man in a wheelchair speaks into a microphone while a woman standing beside him holds up a piece of paper from which he is reading. They are both wearing matching light blue t-shirts that read "Walk and Roll" in white and dark blue font.

Potential Speaking Topics

  • Building friendships across differences
