What We Are!
Kathleen Kleinmann at Adapt Action
TRIPIL is a Center for Independent Living.
Through the connection of the people of our community, individuals of all ages and abilities are able to work together to help themselves and to improve their community. TRIPIL brings together individuals who share common problems in equal access, education, housing, employment, attendant care, transportation, and access to technology.
TRIPIL is a membership based organization. The membership is comprised primarily of individuals who directly benefit through the activities of the CIL and have a direct stake in its operation.
Our purpose convening at TRIPIL is for these reasons:
- To teach ourselves about the past, present, and future prospects of the Independent living movement as part of the disability and equal rights movement;
- To share ideas towards the building of a common vision for Independent Living in Pennsylvania; and;
- To strengthen our sense of community and common purpose as part of the local, state, national, and international independent living movement.
Events and Notifications
“Peering into the eyes of a person who sees us as their final hope of
getting them out of a nursing home is far more of an irresistable force
than any barrier that the state, service system, or institution can
whimsically devise.”
