Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to identify conditions of the civic and vocational activity of the people with disabilities in Poland. Actually it seems that vocational activity as well as civic activity penetrate each other and, importantly, remain in mutual interactions. However, beingactive effectively prevents social exclusion of the persons with disabilities as well as their families since it allows for much broader social contacts, improves self-assessment, bringss atisfaction and builds up a sense of being a member of a group. Therefore finding, startingand keeping a job under conditions of the current labor market is not the only argument for vocational rehabilitation of the people with disabilities but paves them the road to theirsocial rehabilitation. Thus the phenomena explained under the proposed project include vocational activity of the persons with disabilities and civic activity.
