People First of Alabama

What is People First of Alabama?

People First Of Alabama is a self advocacy group for people with developmental disabilities living in the state of Alabama who are dedicated to making their dreams come to fruition by having choices and control over their lives. People First Of Alabama wishes to be more self sufficient through making personal decisions and plans on their own instead of having other people make their decisions and plans for them. People First intends to reach out to youth and communities in Alabama with public campaigns with its chapters in the state and also to pursue ongoing funding sources that will maintain its existing state and regional structure that it has.
People First Of Alabama produces its own newsletter every season which is called, "Speaking Out!," and also has a 1-800 toll free number to call, an Arc Link, and has events reguarly. People First also makes community visits and strongly supports its community needs with advocacy and by making public speeches in which local governmental representatives can attend in order to be able to understand how to accurately represent their intellectually disabled constituents. Below is the latest People First Of Alabama newsletter.
