People First of New Hampshire Information

About Us People First of New Hampshire, the statewide self-advocacy non-profit organization started operation in 1992 and will be celebrating its twenty year anniversary in 2012. There are 14 self-advocacy chapters throughout our state and approximately 300 members. Each chapter elects two representatives to serve on the board of directors of People First of New Hampshire which meets monthly. Mission We believe that people with disabilities should be treated as equals. We should be given the right to make the same decisions, and to have the same choices and responsibilities as anyone else. We should be allowed to make new friends and renew old friendships and be as independent as we are able. We should be able to live where we want to live and work where we want to work. We should also be included in society and not be singled out as being different. We will work to accomplish these ends in New Hampshire.
