Northeast Passage

10/19/2026

🎤 Last week, 6 veteran participants came together at the UNH Manchester campus for our Popcorn Stories Series, a storytelling workshop held in collaboration with Harbor Care’s Peer Support Program.

Participants explored the art of shaping and sharing their personal stories with purpose and intention. As one story sparked another, the group created space for connection, reflection, and sharing.

We’re grateful to everyone who took part in this opportunity to connect through the power of storytelling!

The Popcorn Stories Series is funded in part by Creative Forces®: NEA Military Healing Arts Network, with matching funds from the J.D. McGonagle Foundation, and in collaboration with Stellar Story Company.

Where were we getting sporty today? All over the place—in the best way!

From sled hockey practice at UNH’s Whittemore Center, to disc golf at the Franklin Veteran’s Campus in Franklin, NH, and archery at Carleton-Willard Village in Bedford, MA, our adaptive sports and recreation programs were out creating opportunities for people to play, compete, connect, and create community.

Different places, different activities, different populations, one shared mission. We help people Define. Pursue. Achieve. 💙

🥪💙 We love a big check. We also love a tasty sub. And Jersey Mike's new Durham, NH location delivered a pretty great combination of both!

Jersey Mike’s donated $5,000 to Northeast Passage as part of its opening week, helping support innovative recreational therapy and adaptive sports programs that create opportunities for people of all abilities.

We’re incredibly grateful for the support and excited to welcome Jersey Mike’s to the Durham community. Thanks for helping NEP continue to create opportunities to play, connect, and pursue goals—and for giving us a very good excuse to celebrate with a giant check! 😉

🚲💙 Celebrating Active Aging Week!
Today, Northeast Passage was with the RiverWoods Exeter community at the Portsmouth Rail Trail, getting residents out on the bikes and introducing them to a variety of adaptive cycles designed to make cycling fun, enjoyable, and safe for people of all ages and abilities.

Because there’s no age limit on getting outside, and enjoying the freedom of a good bike ride! 🚲
