The Utah Independent Living Center is a non-residential facility that provides services which enhance the independence of people with disabilities. Our mission is to assist persons with disabilities to achieve a greater independence by providing services and activities that will help ones growth to independence and promote the public’s understanding, accommodation and acceptance of rights, needs and abilities. The Independent Living Movement has historical roots in the Civil Rights Movement, deinstitutionalization and other social justice and self-help trends prevalent in the early 1960’s.

The Debra Bonner Unity Gospel Choir is a multicultural, interfaith choir that is an ambassador of Unity Gospel Choir International. Established in 2014, it has set the standard for bringing hope, healing, and love to our brothers and sisters throughout the world.
