In May 2020, New Hampshire Listens reached a milestone: a decade of work helping New Hampshire residents talk to each other about hard public issues to create communities that work for everyone.
Over the years, we have been asked to assist towns, schools, police departments, and community organizations focused on public life.
Our staff have facilitated projects in all sectors, addressing a variety of topics – mental health, water sustainability, government efficiency, lead poisoning, community-police relationships, and more.
Our work is driven by community requests reflecting the challenges faced by our state. From these requests, patterns emerge.
