Scheduled Events

Coalition of Citizens with Disabilities in Illinois

The Coalition of Citizens with Disabilities in Illinois is an independent, cross-disability grassroots advocacy organization open to all persons with disabilities and their families and friends.

Deaf Club
The Bloomington-Normal deaf club is an independent club open to all area residents who are Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing and their families and friends. The Deaf Club holds many of its meetings at the Center. For more information about the Deaf Club, contact Jackie Cole at jackie@lifecil.org.

Legislative Intern Project
Participants learn how government works, how laws are made, and how to have a voice in public policy. The class travels to Springfield to observe the legislative process and speak to their legislators, and also attends the annual Disability Rights Conference. Participants learn self-advocacy and leadership skills. There are two groups of Legislative Interns, one for adults with disabilities and one for youth with disabilities age 14 to 21. The classes begin in early spring each year and are limited in size, so we encourage you to sign up early! If you are a minority and/or live in DeWitt, Ford, Livingston, or rural McLean County, you will have priority to enroll in this program. All travel expenses for the trips to Springfield are paid, and we can also provide assistance for travel to classes if you live outside Bloomington-Normal. This program is funded by the Department of Human Services, Office of Rehabilitation Services. For more information call Jill Doran or e-mail her at jill@lifecil.org.
