Leadership CILB is a special leadership opportunity for individuals with disabilities in Broward County. Run through the Center for Independent Living of Broward, the program develops individuals’ advocacy abilities while also fostering a networking of disability advocates in our community. Selected individuals meet monthly during the year to develop their leadership ability, network with community leaders, and learn how to serve as disability advocates.

The ten-month leadership program begins with an Opening Retreat in September. The following monthly Program Days expose participants to the competencies necessary for strong leadership and advocacy. During the program year, participants also work together on a community project designed to put their leadership into practice. The program culminates with a Graduation Reception where class participants network with Leadership CILB alumni. Program graduates are afforded special networking and educational opportunities.

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters and corporate sponsorship, we are able to offer scholarships to program participants that cover the program cost – participants just need to be able to make their own travel arrangements to and from program locations (some transportation assistance may be available on a case-by-case basis).
