On August 14th we celebrate a great man, advocate, and community legend Charles L. Bean.

We honored him with the naming of our conference room. Now everyone that enters that room will hear about Charlie Bean and know the wonderful activism, advocacy, and support he provided for the Humboldt County disability community.

Through his many efforts we saw great changes to the Humboldt County region for disability access. He leaves a legacy that is hard to top.

Thank you to Carolyn Bean for allowing us to honor him in such a way.

TCIL is looking for Student Volunteers and interns for the next school year. If you are a High School or College student then we have volunteer opportunities for you.

You can fill out the QR form on our website to be interviewed for a volunteer or internship position. We have several opportunities throughout the year for volunteer work but our biggest volunteer day would be for our EXPO in October.

Sign up now so you can be trained, and ready to help support us over the months leading up to the EXPO, the EXPO and after the EXPO.

A few things you may learn by volunteering or interning are:
-Community relations through tabling and outreach.
-How to properly install and uninstall a ramp for someone with a mobility disability.
-How policies work and are identified for the need in the community.

Join the Coalition for Responsible Transportation and TCIL for the Week Without Driving

This year's event will take place on October 1st-8th

Ride the bus, ride a bike, use carpooling. Experience Humboldt County without driving your own vehicle.

Many people do not drive and this is one way that we as a community can connect with those people and develop a greater understanding of how not driving can impact your life and your ability to traverse the county.

There are many ways to travel within our towns and cities: driving, walking, biking, busing, and car pooling.
