People First NZ

People First NZ's mission is to empower and assist people with learning disability to be strong and valued individuals in New Zealand.

They are a disabled people's organisation that is governed by and for people with learning disability. All their work is about making sure that rights for people with learning disability are a reality and that our communities are inclusive.

Members belong to local groups where they learn about self-advocacy and have opportunities to speak up in their local communities, as well as at regional meetings, and through national networking like People First NZ's Leadership Forums.

People First NZ also provides:

• Free information and advice about disability support services, decision making and your rights.
• An Easy Read translation service, Make it Easy.
• Courses on self-advocacy, money management and safety.
• The Life Skills app, where you can learn about speaking up, friendship, consent and your rights.
