NV secures $10 million grant to enhance outcomes for students with disabilities
Welcome to Independent Living in the Silver State.
The Nevada Statewide Independent Living Council (SILC) is an autonomous entity that encompasses the entire State providing advocacy and support for Independent Living services throughout. It consists of a group of volunteers appointed by the Governor that consists of a majority of individuals with disabilities in order to have a strong consumer voice moving forward. Individuals with disabilities of all types are supported by the Nevada SILC’s Mission and Vision.
The mission of the Council is to advocate for the development of a network of programs, services and options designed to empower Nevadans with disabilities to live independently in the community.
The Nevada SILC collaborates to create a community that values respect, equality and self-direction throughout the State.
There are many ways you can get involved in Independent Living in Nevada. You can become a member of the Council or join one of the Council's Subcommittees or even volunteer to assist at Statewide events to help promote the Independent Living Philosophy. We welcome any and all into our community to learn more about Independent Living and what Nevada is doing to strengthen the State's IL Movement.
