Independence Empowerment Center
Independence Empowerment Center, Inc. (IEC) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit Center for Independent Living and is one of over 500 Centers in the United States with roots in civil rights models of the 1960s. All people with disabilities who live in Prince William and Fauquier Counties and the Cities of Woodbridge, Manassas, and Manassas Park are eligible for IEC services.
IEC was founded in 1999 and promotes disability rights, equal access, and full community participation for persons with disabilities. We work with individuals with disabilities to maintain or take back charge of their own lives and make their own choices and decisions to be as self-sufficient as possible. With our consumers' assistance, we lead efforts to break down barriers and prejudices within our communities.
When these barriers are removed and prejudices are replaced with positive attitudes, persons with disabilities will have equal access to society.
