Friends in Action

 

Imagine graduating from high school and not having anyone you consider a friend. No one to go bowling with, shoot hoops with, see a movie with, or simply spend time with. While siblings and peers move on to college, careers, relationships, and new social circles, you find yourself increasingly isolated. For many people with developmental disabilities, this is a very real experience, and the loneliness can have a profound impact on mental health and overall well-being.

Then you discover Friends in Action.

Suddenly, there are Friday night socials, community outings, and meaningful opportunities to connect. You make friends, join activities, attend classes and theater programs at the University of New Hampshire, and become part of a community where you are valued and included. Your calendar fills with places to go, people to see, and experiences to look forward to.

At Friends in Action, we believe everyone deserves friendship, connection, and a sense of belonging. Your support during NH Gives helps make these life-changing opportunities possible for hundreds of individuals and families across New Hampshire.

Friendships. Places to go. People to meet. Things to do. That's what Friends in Action is all about.
