At Empower, the Disability Resource Centre, we break barriers every day. Barriers to access. To knowledge. To choices. Anyone with a disability can use our services. And anyone can help, through volunteering, donations, or even a career with EmpowerNL. EmpowerNL is a vital part of our community, and the need for our services is growing. With your support, you’ll be helping even more people find their path to independent living.
