Tennesseans with disabilities, regardless of severity, have a friend in People First. Members advocate for themselves and others through public and private speaking, and the organization teaches self-advocacy skill to high school students with disabilities. People First also offers training in public speaking, rights and responsibilities, independent living, supported employment, and works to support legislation to help Tennesseans with disabilities.With fees only $3 per year, the group heavily relies on funding through private donations.--Lucas W.
