Welcome to IAL - 

Thanks to all who participated in the IAL golf tournament, you support helps the IAL students to fulfill their life goals!

 

 The support of our financial partners and the Marin Community Foundation's FAITH Partnership Grant over the past 5 years has provided for the IAL groundbreaking Teacher Aide Career Training program.  This year we are looking forward to placing a couple of our students who have completed the course into public schools in Novato.

What makes IAL unique?
The IAL opens "typical" pathways of learning and community involvement to a new group of adults...the IAL addresses an area of need so often overlooked with adults with developmental disabilities:  the need for lifelong learning and post secondary education.
Education is important. It deserves proven methodology and experience through effective pilot programs in order to show how change can and should be instituted.

It's our mission to open successful educational doors.

"The Institute of Abundant Living continues to bring education, independence and opportunity to people living with developmental challenges.  It was an honor for me to support their program and play in a wonderful tournament that helped raise money for such inspirational individuals."
