New Futures
2023 Goals:
At New Futures, we want New Hampshire residents to start healthy, stay healthy and have the necessary resources to provide for their families. This means promoting policies that protect and expand access to affordable health care, treatment for substance use disorders and resources to support the behavioral health of our children.
Our staff spends their time in the State House advocating to bring about policy change that benefits New Hampshire residents, families and businesses alike. We work to build strong, nonpartisan coalitions founded on trust, mutual respect and integrity aligned around a common goal. We understand that we are all in this together, and only by working together can we find solutions that benefit all Granite Staters.
During the upcoming 2023 legislative session, New Futures will work to promote several public policies that include:
* Permanent reauthorization of Medicaid expansion
* Increasing the income threshold to ensure more families are eligible for child care scholarships
* Programs that prevent childhood trauma to help NH families thrive
* Access to critical substance use prevention, treatment and recovery programs
Fundraising Events:
Our 2023 annual event will occur in person on October 11 at the Bank of NH Stage in Concord.
Giving Opportunities:
New Futures is thankful for the support of individuals and businesses like yours. If you’d like to make a gift to support the important public policy work we do, please visit our website at www.new-futures.org/donate.
Volunteer Opportunities:
Few things are more powerful and persuasive than an individual’s story about their personal or professional experience.
At New Futures, we encourage Granite Staters to use their voice to speak up and advocate for the health and wellness of our state. We work with our volunteers to help them share their stories with state legislators, so they can see why a particular piece of legislation should be promoted or opposed. Please consider volunteering to become an advocate to use your voice to build a stronger and more vibrant New Hampshire.
Advocacy trainings, panel discussions and legislative previews can be accessed by visiting our website at www.new-futures.org/events.
