NH’s North Star for Advancing Justice & Equity

MISSION

We elevate and empower people of color in New Hampshire by fostering connections, changing systems, and meeting community needs to make a better Granite State where all belong.

VISION

We envision a vibrant, flourishing, just, and equitable New Hampshire.

CORE VALUES

Love | Trust | Empathy | Inclusion | Accountability

SECTORS OF EFFORT

NHCJE’s work is organized across these six sectors, & includes a combination of program, policy, & project initiatives. These sectors were identified because of their mutually reinforcing nature & impact on NH’s communities of color.
