The Independent Living Institute (ILI) is a non-profit organization based in New Bern, NC that promotes the self-determination and equal opportunities for individuals with disabilities. Through information, education, lobbying, and project activities, ILI works to empower people with disabilities to have more personal and political power, full participation, and equality in their everyday lives. Their philosophy of Independent Living emphasizes the importance of choice, control, and inclusion, advocating for the same rights and opportunities that non-disabled individuals enjoy.
