ENABLE AMERICA

Disability Resources



For millions of Americans with disabilities, gainful employment remains out of reach. Enable America is a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing employment among the 54 million Americans with disabilities.

More than 70 percent of adults with disabilities want to work – that’s an untapped work force of 18 million people.

Our goal is to work with all members of the community – including disabled individuals, service providers, government agencies, advocacy groups, existing organizations and employers – to eliminate barriers to employment and bridge the gap between disabled job seekers and the employers who want to hire them.

Hiring a person with a disability makes good business sense.
