Gerard’s House |
|
Santa Fe, New
Mexico / $10,000 |
|
|
Gerard’s House provides a safe
place for grieving children and
teenagers where healing happens
through peer group support and
acceptance. Without such
services, many grieving children
and teenagers would be saddled
with unresolved grief. Our core
program is a weekly peer grief
support group for children and
teenagers. We also provide
weekly groups for adults, a
group for teenagers who have
attempted suicide, and a Bridge
Academy group for students who
have been suspended from the
Santa Fe Public School system. |

Albuquerque, New
Mexico / $8,000 |

New Mexico continues to rank
among the lowest states in the
country in terms of low-income
families, teen pregnancy and
disconnected youth. Low-income
children and girls of color are
especially vulnerable, but have
been shown to thrive in quality
after-school programs like what
the Girls Scouts provide,
connecting them to healthy
relationships and caring mentors
from their own communities. |

Kitchen Angels feeds the
homebound community with
nutritious meals, daily.
The Spreading Our Wings Campaign
was granted to meet the growing
need of homebound clients. The
demand has grown an average of
18% annually since 2008. Not
only will the grant help us grow
our endowment, it will also move
us closer to renovating our
facilities and buying the
remaining leasehold in the Angel

we can expand our service
capacity and prepare for future
need and growth. |

The National Adult Literacy
Survey found that a parent’s
education level is the number
one determiner of a child’s
education level. Learning
English is critical to breaking
the cycle of poverty. Our goal
is to raise literacy levels in
Grant County. Objectives are
providing: one-to-one tutoring,
English as a Second Language
(ESL) classes, computer literacy
instruction, tutoring at the
Grant County Detention Center,
literacy outreach activities,
and distribution of new
children’s books into homes. |

Our program offers an essential
learning opportunity that speaks
directly to our youth’s
particular culture and history.
Though the ‘Summer Youth Intern
Program’, teenagers have access
to a life-changing natural world
experience as they are mentored
on Mesa Prieta by archaeologists
and adult mentors. Our goals are
to grow and enhance the project
to include more Native American
youth, develop environment
materials to include in the
project’s curriculum, and to
encourage enrollment in
post-secondary education. |
