Who We Are

Our History

CPG/Open Door is one of Greece’s most distinguished and effective non-profit organizations. Since its founding as a public charity 50 years ago, CPG/Open Door has taken the lead

  • in offering educational and rehabilitation services to individuals with cerebral palsy as well as support to their families
  • in training specialized staff
  • in encouraging scientific research, particularly in the field of prevention
  • in promoting public information campaigns and legislation for people with disabilities. 

Our mission

Porta: Open Door-USA will strive to assist the work of CPG/Open Door on all fronts, calling on the wisdom and generosity of members of the Greek-American community as well as philhellenes throughout the United States.
