Welcome to DAWN CENTER for INDEPENDENT LIVING
Centers for Independent Living (CILs) are private, not-for-profit organizations that work with people with all disabilities to advance their independence.
Each CIL promotes the Independent Living movement, which seeks to change community attitudes and beliefs which perpetuate dependence.
Independent Living is a philosophy which states that people with disabilities should have the same civil rights, choices, and control as do people without disabilities.
DAWN Center for Independent Living has served Morris, Sussex, and Warren counties since 1996.
Mission Statement:
DAWN Center for Independent Living empowers people with disabilities who strive to take control of their own lives by:
- Providing tools that encourage independence and self-advocacy.
- Promoting public awareness of the rights, needs, and desires of individuals living with disabilities.
- Offering community activities that create new experiences and opportunities.
- Creating informed communities that advance the Independent Living Philosophy.
Vision Statement:
DAWN Center for Independent Living promotes self-direction in order to create, expand, and implement equal-access opportunities by and for people with disabilities. DAWN is a United Way Member Agency.
