L.A. GOAL

L.A. GOAL's mission is to provide adults with developmental disabilities a secure, lifelong base, allowing them to safely and confidently increase their independence by interacting within our educational, vocational, and recreational programs. By providing community education, we break down barriers that separate people with developmental disabilities from society.

Based on L.A. GOAL's mission, the T.A.D.A.A. (Teens and Adults with Disabilities Advancing Autonomy, Advocacy, and Awareness) program was created in 2003 by two teenagers who wanted to expand the community and overall awareness. Teen volunteers in this program work throughout the summer, either working with members in our Art/Sewing studio, Job Training Program, Custodial Maintenance Program, or Adult Education Classes, as well as many more projects and programs that are available. Overall, the T.A.D.A.A. program offers teenagers an incredible opportunity to grow, and to help others to grow as well while fulfilling community service requirements.
