| About VCILCitizens with disabililities working together for dignity, independence and civil rights. WHO WE ARE The Vermont Center for Independent Living (VCIL), a non-profit organization directed and staffed by individuals with disabilities, works to promote the dignity, independence and civil rights of Vermonters with disabilities. Like other independent living centers across the country, VCIL is committed to cross-disability services, the promotion of active citizenship and working with others to create services that support self-determination and full participation in community life. Founded in 1979, VCIL is the only center for independent living (CIL) in Vermont and was the first organization in the state with a majority of board and staff with disabililities. At the close of 2003, all members of the board and 95% of VCIL staff were individuals having personal experience with disabilities. You'll find these resources in the "About VCIL" section of this Web site:
