Alliance of Disability Advocates - Raleigh, NC

Location: Raleigh, NC.

Alliance works to enable people with disabilities to fully participate in their communities and helps them solve day-to-day problems that interfere with independent living. We serve people with any disability and their families in Raleigh-Durham and the surrounding area.

Mission

To promote dignity, independence and consumer control for people of all ages and abilities and to advance civil rights of equal access and full participation in society. 

Vision

Alliance promotes a dynamic environment where society and the individual mutually benefit from a world with no limits. This is accomplished by promoting and achieving excellence in consumer-controlled, self-directed services in programs, education, advocacy and research, and sharing valuable information. All Alliance services are geared toward increasing awareness of an individual's rights and options as well as the various methods to achieve their chosen goals. 

It is fundamental that all advocacy, programming and services ensure confidentiality, guard against exploitation, paternalism and segregation, thus safeguarding the principle of consumer empowerment.
