About This Cause
Growing Up New Mexico (Growing Up NM) believes that all families are capable of success if provided the right opportunities and resources at the right time. In carrying out its work, Growing Up NM employs a multi-Generation, or “whole family” approach to simultaneously reach young children, parents, and caregivers by: • Providing high-quality early childhood and family support programs, prenatally through age five, primarily in Santa Fe County and neighboring Rio Arriba County. • Building state-wide public awareness, political will for investments, streamlined and universal access, and coalitions among key early childhood stakeholders so that every NM child and their families will have equitable access to quality early learning opportunities and the supports they need to thrive. Growing Up NM’s leadership, administrative, and direct service staff all live in, or near, Santa Fe County. Most are parents, and several have been enrolled in the organization’s home visiting, child care, PreK, family coaching, and/or early literacy programs giving staff an understanding of challenges and barriers that families with young children must navigate every day. The demographics of staff mirror the demographics of the community with over half, 66%, identifying as Hispanic/Latino(a) and many being English/Spanish bilingual. Growing Up NM meets families where they are with compassion and without judgement. Their high-quality early childhood programs and support promote long-term resiliency by connecting families to community resources and other tools needed to thrive, empowering them to be their own goal setters, problem solvers, and advocates in order to reach their full potential.
