The Polus Center and Asia Development Training (ADT) programs continue to serve Syrian refugees remotely at the Sir Bobby Charlton Center in Amman, Jordan. In fact, ADT rehabilitation staff have never stopped working. Using Apps and video conferencing they continue to provide physical therapy and trauma-related care, keeping patients and their families motivated and in recovery while staying safe, and healthy.
When the Polus Center for Social & Economic Development, got the word in January 2020 that they had received a Young Adults with Disabilities Employment grant to offer CVS Pharmacy Technician training — they got busy recruiting 15 young adults (age 18-35) to participate. Polus, a Massachusetts non-profit agency that promotes employment opportunities for people with disabilities, is collaborating on the project with longtime partners Commonwealth Corporation, MassHire North Central MA Workforce Board, and the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission.
