About Vermont Center for Independent Living - Burlington
VCIL is a nonprofit directed and staffed by people with disabilities.
VCIL was founded in 1979 and is the only Center for Independent Living (CIL) in Vermont. We serve all of Vermont. We were the first organization in the state, with a majority of board and staff with disabilities. At this time, 80% of our staff and 92% of our board are people with significant disabilities. We understand what it takes to help others.
VCIL’s central office is in Montpelier with five branch offices in Bennington, Brattleboro, Burlington, Morrisville and Rutland.
