Communities In Schools of New
Mexico (CIS) is an affiliate of
the nation’s leading dropout
prevention organization
established 40 years ago. Close
to 50% of Santa Fe’s young
people drop out of school. CIS
seeks to provide Santa Fe’s

Court Appointed Special
Advocates / CASA |
|
Santa Fe, New
Mexico / $12,000 |
|
|
CASA recruits and trains
community volunteers,
whom advocate in and out
of court to ensure that
each foster child is
safe and has a chance
for a permanent family.
As the “eyes and ears of
the court”, CASA brings
attention to the
Juvenile Court Judge of
situations when foster
children are at risk and
their needs are not
being adequately met.
Our hope is that by
being a caring adult
presence in these
children’s lives, they
will begin to rebuild
their self-esteem and
trust adults. |

Embudo Valley Tutoring
Association |
|
Dixon, New
Mexico / $8,000 |
|
|
Embudo Valley Tutoring is
closely connected to the
schools, library and communities
in which we serve. EVTA last
year served 64 students. This
year we are serving students in
Dixon and Velarde - neither has
a principal, full time Special
Ed teacher or librarian. There
is no adequate instruction for
dyslexic students and no teacher
for the gifted and talented.
EVTA is unique because it
provides access to tutoring to
all students by offering
services at school in the
primary years. |

Feeding Santa Fe |

Hunger in Santa Fe continues to
be an ongoing problem, with many
of our local recipients having
to chose among buying food,
payments for rent, utility bills
or heating fuel, medicine or
medical care and transportation.
The vast majority of those who
come to our drive-thru food
pantry are extremely low or
no-income families or
individuals. We respond to the
ongoing situation of hungry
families with children and a
growing number of seniors that
are rooted in poverty. |
