The Polus Center for Social & Economic Development, Inc. is a non-governmental organization based in Massachusetts that endeavors to create opportunities for persons with disabilities and members of other vulnerable groups, in the U.S. and internationally. Our international efforts create opportunities for persons with disabilities in post-conflict areas which have included the development of rehabilitation programs, vocational training, and psychosocial trauma services. The Polus Center works around the world to build national rehabilitation capacities by offering local organizations training in human service design, inclusive design principles, and ongoing support for project implementation. In the U.S., the Polus Center designs and implements innovative, person-centered work readiness and job-driven employment initiatives for adults and young people with disabilities and other barriers to employment.
