Welcome

Thanks for visiting the web site of the Regional Center for Independent Living (RCIL). We invite you to explore programs and services of RCIL and hope that you will consider Joining Us as a member.

Mission

Our mission is to empower people with disabilities to self-advocate, to live independently and to enhance the quality of community life. Our services and programs are primarily of an advocacy nature (both individual and systems). We seek to overcome the barriers faced by people with disabilities who choose to live independently.

The independent living philosophy supports persons with disabilities having opportunities to make decisions that affect their lives just as their nondisabled counterparts do.

RCIL works toward total voting site and ballot access for all persons with disabilities.
