To become an Empower Member, you need to agree with Empower's Mission Statement and Independent Living Philosophy.
Mission Statement: Empower offers support, resources, and opportunities to help people with disabilities make their own choices about their lives.
Independent Living is based on the rights of people with disabilities to:
- Live with dignity in the community they choose;
- Participate in all aspects of their life; and
- Control and make decisions about their own lives.
