For the past several weeks, Luz and Quethzali have been bright sparks of energy in our L’Arche community. They joined us through a career internship with Arrupe College—and what a joyful experience it’s been!
From day one, the pair dove right in with open minds and lots of excitement. The first week was dedicated to meeting the office staff one-on-one and learning what each role entails. The rest of the internship was spent planning a Community Night (which was bingo-themed), assisting with social media posts, and helping organize the office.
Of course, Noah couldn’t resist pulling them into a few rounds of Bingo — because what’s L’Arche without a bit of fun and friendly competition?
Luz reflects on her experience with L’Arche,
“My time at L’Arche has been amazing! I loved every event, spending time with the core members, learning about the L’Arche team at the office, and most importantly, sharing meals with the community. I was delighted to be a part of L’Arche and to lead community night. Thank you for making me feel so welcome and for giving me the opportunity to share my ideas. At L’Arche, it truly feels like a family, a community where everyone is welcomed and appreciated. Thank you, L’Arche!”
It was a joy to have Luz and Quethzali join our community. We can’t wait to see them again at future events!
Big thanks to Arrupe College for helping build these meaningful connections. Internships like these truly help L’Arche and our wider community grow together.
