Paraquad is an independent living center established in 1970. People with disabilities are assisted in exploring alternatives to institutionalization and are encouraged to make their own decisions about how they will live. ILCs directly provide or coordinate through referral those services which assist people in increasing their abilities to exercise control over their lives. Control over one's life means having a choice of acceptable options that minimize reliance on others in making decisions and performing every day activities.
Volunteers are important to our organization.

The mission of Paraquad is to empower people with disabilities to live as full and productive members of society. Why Paraquad Needs Volunteers Volunteers play a vital role by offering their support and help, which is essential to the high quality service Paraquad provides its participants and the community. Our volunteers believe in our mission and work hard to gain a better understanding of our mission and to relate this awareness to our participants and the community.
