Mission: Through support, challenge, and opportunity, Triangle empowers people with disabilities and their families to enjoy rich, fulfilling lives. We are committed to helping the world realize that we are all people with ability.
Results: Triangle, Inc. was founded in 1971 by several community leaders from Malden, Medford, and Everett, hence the name 'Triangle'. This small group believed that people with disabilities could learn to lead more independent, socially integrated, and dignified lives. Triangle began by serving five participants from a church basement. Since 2001, Triangle, Inc. has rapidly expanded to provide youth and adults with the innovative career, leadership, and safety skills they need to live more independent, dignified lives. Our School-to-Career and Empowering People for Inclusive Communities (EPIC) initiatives equip high school students with disabilities and recent graduates with the tools to start careers and serve and lead their local communities. Our Triangle Abuse Prevention & Safety program provides abuse prevention training that empowers people of all abilities to live safe, healthy lives. At our ten beautiful homes in Malden, Melrose, Peabody, Danvers, Reading, Stoneham, and Saugus, we provide support to 47 people to help them enjoy more independent, dignified lives.
