The Independent Living Center of Kern County (ILCKC) is a consumer-based, consumer-directed non-profit agency assisting persons with disabilities to live independently in their community. The ILCKC presently offers a wide range of services to a growing population of persons with disabilities. These services are designed to educate the community on disability issues as we provide persons with disabilities with the information, support and opportunity to grow creatively, professionally, and personally. ILCKC empowers people by assisting people in developing options, making informed choices and controlling their own lives. As the individuals with disabilities come into the Center, they observe their peer consumers, employees, board members and administration – all people with disabilities – as they manage the specific aspects of their lives. The staff and Board operate under the firm belief that all people have individual value and are entitled to full inclusion in all aspects of society.
