Able-Disabled Advocacy A-DA is a non-profit organization founded in 1975 that has provided occupational skills training and job placement assistance to over 7,000 people with all types of disabilities throughout San Diego County. A-DA works closely with employers, schools, and the public sector to help people with disabilities achieve independence and become self-supporting.



Our programs are funded by the US Department of Education, the San Diego Workforce Partnership, private foundations, and inkind contributions from community partners and businesses. The organization serves both youth (ages 18-21) and adults who want to work.
