More About LIFE Center
LIFE Center for Independent Living is a community-based,
not-for-profit, non-residential organization that was founded in 1985.
LIFE Center promotes disability rights, equal access, and full community
participation for persons with disabilities. We empower individuals
with disabilities to take charge of their lives and make their own choices
and decisions in order to be as self-sufficient as possible. We lead
efforts to break down barriers and prejudices within our communities.
When these barriers are removed and prejudices are replaced with positive
attitudes, persons with disabilities will have equal access to society.
LIFE Center is associated with a national movement of almost 500 Centers
for Independent Living. These Centers are advocacy-based organizations
governed and operated by persons with disabilities for persons with
disabilities.
