About
Description
Empower: abilities is a 501(c)3 organization based in Springfield, MO, that was founded in 1985 by a dedicated group of citizens. Originally known as the Southwest Center for Independent Living, we underwent a rebranding in 2019 to better reflect our mission. Our primary goal is to protect the civil rights of individuals with disabilities.
At Empower: abilities, we offer a range of programs and services designed to empower people with disabilities to live independently in their communities. We provide direct services and programs, as well as work in the community to improve access to affordable housing, transportation, healthcare, and employment opportunities. Our organization follows the philosophy of consumer choice and control, with the majority of our leadership team, staff, and governing board composed of individuals with disabilities.
We serve all individuals with disabilities regardless of gender, age, race, sexual orientation, or disability type. Our services extend to several southwest Missouri counties, including Christian, Dallas, Greene, Lawrence, Polk, Stone, Taney, and Webster. Our vision is to create an accessible world of social equality, where all individuals with disabilities can live their fullest lives.
Through education, promotion, and the removal of architectural and environmental barriers, we strive to ensure that people with disabilities can fully participate in our community. We also prioritize empowering individuals to develop their abilities and achieve greater independence. By breaking social stigmas and recognizing that disability is a part of the human spectrum, we promote understanding and inclusivity.
We value communication and encourage you to stay in touch with us, as we use our voice to advocate for an accessible world of social equality. Join us in our mission to create a more inclusive community where everyone can thrive, regardless of their abilities
