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 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.
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
