Education and youth engagement
Dignified pay for early childhood educators
New Mexico is the first state in the country to make universal child care a reality. To make it last, we have to prioritize wages for child care educators. Their work builds young brains and sets the state for school readiness.
Paid internships and hands on education opportunities for our youth
New Mexico youth are asking for meaningful and relevant educational opportunities. We need to listen to them. New Mexico has a huge youth disengagement problem: – not in school and not in the workforce. When provided with internships, work-based learning, and hands on educational opportunities, youth engagement soars.
Youth access to mentorship opportunities
Our youth are asking for mentorships and caring adults in their lives.
