THE INDEPENDENCE CENTER

The Independence Center is one of 500+ designated Centers for Independent Living (CILs) in the United States. Developed as part of the Independent Living Movement, CILs are nonresidential community-based non-profit organizations that are designed and run by people with disabilities to help other people with disabilities live independently... Founded in 1987, The IC is a nonprofit organization that helps people with disabilities create independence by leveraging their own unique abilities. We are the home of civil rights for people with disabilities. Working with individuals, their families, and the community, we create independence so that all may thrive... As a CIL, The Independence Center believes that each individual knows their own needs and what's best for them. So instead of telling our consumers how they should live their lives, we walk alongside them, offering support and resources while they create the lives they want. These services are provided at no cost to our consumers,..
