As the first four-letter chapter chartered in the Central Region, ABDO aims to be at the forefront of effective advocacy and social change that results in equality and equity for all citizens of the Northwest and West Side communities in Chicago.

Our 2026-2030 international program theme embodies Championing Service. Empowering Sisterhood. Transforming the World.

We strive to innovate, finding distinctive approaches to meet the community's needs by forging partnerships with local agencies in the areas we call home, labor, and support.
