Information
Organization's Own Description:
IndependenceFirst is Metro Milwaukee's FIRST resource when people have questions regarding access and disability. We offer over 20 Programs & Services for people with disabilities of all kinds, in all age groups and provide programs on disability awareness and access to the general community. Over 50% of our staff, managers and Board have disabilities themselves and this peer approach leads to excellent outcomes.
IndependenceFirst is a community-based, non-residential Independent Living Center (CIL) in Milwaukee, WI. CILs are located across the US and were born in the 1970s out of the civil rights movement for people with disabilities, known as the disability rights movement. IndependenceFirst is proud to be one of the largest CILs in the nation as measured by service offerings, staffing levels and consumers served annually, as well as budget. The organization is nationally recognized as an innovative leader in service delivery and advocacy with staff serving on committees related to disability issues locally, statewide and nationally. We are visited by international guests and people from throughout the country who are interested in learning about our methods and work.
