CIL-NET
CIL-NET: A National Training and Technical Assistance Project for CILs
The CIL-NET mission is to support the independent living movement and the operation, management, and evaluation of strong and effective centers for independent living led and staffed by people who practice the independent living philosophy. CIL-NET fulfills this mission by providing a continuum of information, training and technical assistance designed to assist centers to operate effective organizations; to fulfill their role as community advocates and change agents; and to develop strong, consumer-responsive services. A companion project, the SILC-NET, serves Statewide Independent Living Councils.
