WELCOME TO NESILC.ORG

Dear Friends,

Welcome to Nebraska's Statewide Independent Living Council (NESILC) Website. Thank you for your interest.

The mission of the Council is to partner with the Independent Living Network to promote Independent Living and facilitate systemic change that promotes independence, inclusion, non-discrimination, and dignity for all people with disabilities in Nebraska.

Independent Living is a philosophy and a movement of people with disabilities who work for self-determination, equal opportunities, and self-respect. The SILC believes in supporting this philosophy, ensuring full community integration and participation for all Nebraska citizens.

If you or someone you know is interested in joining the NESILC or would like more information on the SILC and its work, please contact us. On behalf of the NESILC we invite you to partner with us.
