The mission of San Diego People First is to educate and support people with developmental disabilities in San Diego County. The members encourage individuals to be involved through education, offering peer support, sharing resources and tools, presentations, and the growth of leadership skills. Members serve as role models by becoming involved in community projects and being active members of their community to make a difference.

Our Story

Meet some of our Officers!

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 to connect with one another, learn about local resources and organizations, and plan group events such as the annual San Diego People First Conference.
