As we prepare to launch our next round of the Community Leadership Academy, we thought it was important to talk about one of our core values as a Center for Independent Living: why we reject tokenism and believe in real engagement by people with lived experience in the communities where they live, work, and play.

Tokenism happens when someone is included mainly to create the appearance of inclusion, without being given meaningful influence, authority, or a real voice in decisions. That is the opposite of Independent Living and the values that guide our work.

We believe people with disabilities bring unique experiences, perspectives, and ideas to the table. When those voices are genuinely part of the community conversation, our communities are stronger, our decisions are better, and real change becomes possible.

𝐖𝐞’𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬.

Our 6-Week Community Leadership Academy is for people with disabilities who want to build confidence, strengthen their voice, and learn how they can have a say in the decisions being made in their communities.

You’ll learn practical leadership skills and how to get involved with boards, committees, commissions, and community organizations.

📅 Tuesdays beginning September 15
🕑 2–4 PM
