What is Independent Living?​

Your Future. Your Way.

Thank you for traveling here from the Nevada The Roadmap through Innovative Partnerships (Nevada TRIP) website. At Southern Nevada Center for Independent Living (SNCIL), we’re here to provide the resources, support, and information you need to transition into adulthood with confidence. 

Growing up means making big choices — school, work, independence, and finding your way in the world. You deserve to live life on your own terms just like anyone else, with the freedom to make choices, set goals, and shape your future.

We believe in:

Self-Determination & Empowerment

Your future belongs to you. Making your own choices and setting your own goals is the first step toward independence. We’re here to help you build the skills and confidence to take charge of your life.

Equal Access & Inclusion

Whether it’s through education, employment, housing, or community life, you have the right to fully participate in society. We connect you with the tools and services that make independence possible.

Self-Advocacy & Self-Respect

Speaking up for yourself is a powerful skill. Learn how to understand your rights, communicate your needs, and advocate for the support you deserve.

Political Change & Your Voice

Your voice matters. Laws and policies shape opportunities for people with disabilities, and you have the power to make a difference. Whether it’s by voting, joining advocacy efforts, or engaging with lawmakers, you can help create a more accessible and inclusive world.

Adulthood is an exciting journey. With the right support and resources, you can build the life you want — a life of independence, respect, and opportunity.
