We loved seeing so many smiling faces at our first ever Social Rec Resource Fair!

Meet San Diego People First!

SDPF is one of many People First groups across the nation that is run by and for people with developmental disabilities. This chapter formed in 1987, where members meet weekly to connect with one another, learn about local resources and organizations, and plan group events such as the annual San Diego People First Conference. The few members in this video, Issen, the San Diego People First President, Paul, and Alejandra work alongside many others to empower and advocate for the disability community. As the group continues to grow, we're excited to see what they accomplish!

June is Pride Month, and we're so happy to celebrate our LGBTQ+ community here in San Diego and Imperial Valley! 🏳️‍🌈
Many individuals in the disability community also identify as LGBTQ+. Navigating both communities while advocating for acceptance and accessibility takes strength and resilience.

Everyone deserves to be seen, valued, and included for who they are. This month, we celebrate the diversity and voices that make our communities stronger.

Happy Pride Month!
