Description
People First New Zealand Ngā Tāngata Tuatahi is a Disabled People’s Organisation run by and for people with learning (intellectual) disability.
People First NZ:
- speaks up about things that affect people with learning disability
- speaks up for change to make things better.
People First NZ teaches people with learning disability about self-advocacy.
Self-advocacy is about:
- knowing your rights
- speaking up for your rights in your life, our community and to government.
There are many People First NZ groups around New Zealand. Groups meet every month.
Group meetings are a safe way to:
- learn about your rights
- speak up about things that are important to you.
Groups are where you can become a member.

- have a learning disability
- be 18 years old or over.
It does not cost any money to be a member of People First NZ.
