About the Association for
Better Living and Education

The Association for Better Living and Education International (ABLE) is dedicated to resolving the major societal ills of drugs, crime, illiteracy and immorality. ABLE International carries out this purpose by serving as the coordinating body for independent networks that utilize L. Ron Hubbard’s technologies in purely secular charitable and educational activities—Narconon International, Criminon International, Applied Scholastics International and The Way to Happiness Foundation.

ABLE provides direction and support to each of these individually incorporated organizations to ensure they fulfill their missions and reach broad audiences with their programs.

The Church and its parishioners sponsor ABLE and its social betterment groups.  ABLE additionally raises funds through donations and grants from other entities.  ABLE and its related organizations do not contribute to the financial support of any Church of Scientology.

ABLE International is a non-profit, tax-exempt, public benefit corporation headquartered in Los Angeles with continental and national offices around the world.
