Community Mentoring Program

The Community Mentor helps young people reach the limits of their individual potential. We do this by having mentors work with them one-on-one to help them set goals and develop the tools they will need to achieve those goals. This includes help with basic life skills such as organization and time management. It also can include assistance with academic and career planning and financial management advice. Every CNM mentee can count on being paired with a mentor who will do their very best to address that young person’s particular needs.

New Mexico Office of African American Affairs

The New Mexico Office of African American Affairs (OAAA) was enacted by the 44th New Mexico State Legislature in 1999 under House Bill 909 and an executive advisory committee was established by Executive Order under the administration of Governor Gary Johnson. Although the official operation of OAAA started with State Legislation, the hearts of OAAA lies with the many New Mexico residents statewide who felt that there was a need to address issues specific to the African American community.
