The Boston Center for Independent Living


BCIL's Mission Statement:

The Boston Center for Independent Living is a frontline civil rights organization led by people with disabilities that advocates to eliminate discrimination, isolation and segregation by providing advocacy, information and referral, peer support, skills training, and PCA services in order to enhance the independence of people with disabilities.


The Boston Center for Independent Living is a private nonprofit organization, which is controlled and directed by persons with disabilities. We empower ourselves and others with disabilities to advocate and take control over our lives, and to become active members of the communities in which we live. As a center, we work to promote the civil rights of all people with disabilities and to respond to the needs of persons with many different disabilities.
