About SPOKES Unlimited
A peer-led Center for Independent Living serving southern Oregon since 1988.
About SPOKES
SPOKES Unlimited is a private, not for profit, community-based Center for Independent Living, established in 1988. The name SPOKES comes from the belief that peer support and the sharing of information will eliminate the need to reinvent the wheel.
The majority of our boards of directors, as well as staff members, have disabilities. This enables us to have insight into the ever-changing needs of individuals with all types of disabilities and to develop programs that respond to those needs.
We serve persons with disabilities, their families, caregivers, and community partners in the Klamath Falls and Lake Counties, Oregon areas.
What Guides Us
Our Mission
To provide services designed to enhance the ability of persons with disabilities to live more independently.
Peer-Led
The majority of our board and staff have disabilities themselves, giving us direct insight into the needs of the people we serve.
Community-Rooted
We are a community-based organization, funded by and accountable to the people of southern Oregon.
What is Independent Living?
Independent living is the ability to make decisions about and participate in life, work, and play in the same ways as people without disabilities.
It means having the freedom and support to choose where you live, how you spend your time, and what goals you pursue on your own terms.
