Our Mission

L.A. GOAL's educational, vocational, and recreational programs provide opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities to increase their independence and employability. Through its art and outreach activities, L.A. GOAL educates the community about the abilities of people with developmental disabilities.

Our long-range vision is to create a more open society where people with developmental disabilities can enjoy full inclusion, including employment.

L.A. GOAL is a non-profit agency that provides Independent Living Skills training for adults with developmental disabilities. Programs and services are available to people with developmental disabilities that are at least 18 years of age and live in the greater Los Angeles area, and their families and/or caregivers. Our programs offer vocational training, employment, counseling, family support, social interaction, sports, and visual/ performing arts that encourage independence and feelings of self-worth.
