"I was a single mom for a long time and I didn’t have my family around to help me raise my children. I had to work long hours... Sometimes I would work graveyard. That was a real hard experience. What I see in the remote communities is there is nobody to take care of children. Women are either taking care of their children or their aging parents. In the program that I am working in now we are assisting women to be able to work from their home."

Today we put up flyers for our new MyBiz! small business clubs, started planning activities at the community garden and farmers market, distributed food to 250 seniors, gathered supplies for prevention activities at the upcoming Teen Maze, received about 1000 plastic bags to "recycle" at our food distributions, met with partners to bring a fun event to the area, discussed several community green space projects, planned for a fun interactive AmeriCorps/Staff meeting in the morning, and accepted the donation of a car to give to one of our youth participants.
Feeling accomplished and happy after just another day in our neighborhood.

Hello Everyone,
As you all may remember we have been working on the new State Service Plan, we have posted a draft on our website. We are encouraging you all to read the draft and take the feedback survey, we want as much public input as possible in finalizing the draft, please direct as many people as possible to our website to review the Plan.
Some of you all hosted community meetings which helped determine the direction of the plan and I would like you all to direct all those you invited to those events, whether they participated or not, to provide their input on the plan. We want to know if we are helping to address the State’s needs as described by the public. The development of this document is meant to be driven by the public and gathering the public’s feedback is a vital step. Pass the link on and encourage those in your network to participate in the improvement of New Mexico through National Service.
Thank you for your service,

Logan Rice
Program Officer, Special Projects Coordinator
