Event Description: Since May 2023, five youth services nonprofits have been joined under an MOU to advocate, educate and seek funding. We would like to share our strategies and successes. This year, the Coalition requested and received $500,000 from the City Councils (2nd Year of funding) and a matching $350,000 from County Commissioners (1st Year of funding)... amongst many other collaborative goals reached. We'd also like to invite the chairs of the City and County elected bodies to be on stage w/ us. The five orgs: JA of NM, Boys & Girls Club, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Warehouse 505, YMCA. We are signing a new MOU and Explora is coming on board, as well. We had the pleasure of meeting with Mark Benak of Imagine NM and Sandia Foundation and are planning on how to work together, as well.
