Lake County Center for Independent Living is a disability rights organization governed and staffed by a majority of people with disabilities.  Lake County Center for Independent Living offers services and advocacy that promote a fully accessible society, which expects participation by persons with disabilities

Our Vision
People with disabilities are involved in every aspect of society and have the freedom and opportunity to control their own lives.

Core Values
We believe that:

• Quality of life is important for all people including people with disabilities
• People with disabilities have the right to control all aspects of their lives
• Decisions and services must be determined and driven by the consumer
• "Peer assist peers". Accordingly, people with disabilities must comprise a majority of the Board of Directors and staff. No one can represent disability rights and independent living issues with more credibility than people with disabilities
• We must adapt our services to meet an individual's needs
• We value integrated community-based services and options for all persons with disabilities
• Society is made stronger through the contribution of all its members.

Lake County Center for Independent Living is fully accessible to all people with disabilities, including persons with chemical sensitivities/environmental illness. Please do not wear scented products to any meetings, demonstrations, groups or workshops held at or by the center. We appreciate your cooperation. Meetings are wheelchair accessible. Sign Language Interpreters, C.A.R.T. & materials in accessible format are available upon request.

We have created a badge on Network for Good! This is a website where you can give to your favorite charity/charities and have all your donation records stored and accessible at any time.
