Empowerment
SCIL knows that you are not your disability. By focusing on your abilities and providing resources to offset your disability, SCIL hopes to empower you to be independent and live life on your terms. We offer programs that support employment, economic self-sufficiency, independence and inclusion in your community.
How We Help
Our goal is simple: to help you get what you need to live independently and with dignity. Our services are offered free of charge to residents of Sarasota and Manatee counties, regardless of age, education, or disability. If you have a disability, we want to help.
Donate Today
Everyone has something to give and everyone has something they need. Donating to Suncoast Center for Independent Living can unify us in our mission to empower people with disabilities to independence.
Your gift, no matter the size, makes a difference…in your life and in someone else’s.
