Ability 1st - Endowment Fund

Mission Statement: Offering persons with disabilities the opportunity to achieve, maintain, and strengthen their level of independence. Approximately 35 years ago the Center for Independent Living of North Florida, now DBA Ability1st began serving people with varying disabilities in the Big Bend. Ability1st recognizes that each person with a disability has the right to live independently and participate actively in the community. With that in mind the organization provides basic supports and services that allow each person to achieve their desired level of independence.
