VISION:
We envision New Mexico leading the nation in creating humane policies and programs that welcome newcomers, build on their strengths, and promote their well-being and civic engagement —working toward a world where all individuals, families, and communities can reach their fullest potential.
MISSION:
We cultivate educational, economic, cultural, social, and health resources in partnership with newcomers (people who are new to the U.S.) to empower communities and drive systemic change that supports well-being.
WE DO THIS BY:
- Promoting mutual learning between newcomers and long-term residents to foster understanding and support effective and just policies.
- Collaborating with organizations, government agencies, and community members to advance shared goals and achieve our vision.
- Developing, implementing, evaluating, and sharing innovative programs that benefit newcomers— such as the Refugee and Immigrant Well-being Project (RIWP), an innovative model that connects newcomers with people and resources to promote mutual learning and improve mental health.
- Building capacity and leadership of newcomers to improve community responsiveness
