Building Independent Lives Through Life Skills, Community,and Opportunity

We believe every adult deserves the opportunity to build a fulfilling life, supported by a community that values their unique contributions.

Building a Foundation for Life

ABLE Jacksonville Charity Inc is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving teens and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities through practical life-skills, community inclusion, employment readiness and independence-focused programming.

ABLE Jacksonville was founded because, as the mother of an adult son with intellectual disabilities, I experienced firsthand how few opportunities existed after high school. Families needed more than services, they needed community, purpose, friendships, and opportunities for continued growth.

Today, ABLE Jacksonville provides life skills classes, employment readiness workshops, social events and community experiences that help adults build confidence, develop independence, and create meaningful connections. Our vision is a community where every adult has the opportunity to thrive and live a fulfilling life.
