Community Involvement
We work hard, we support our community, and we love to have fun doing it. We love, are vested and are engaged in our community and work hard to make it a better place to live, work and raise a family.
The following are a selection of the organizations we support:
LifeQuest is a kid-first organization. Active in 9 juvenile facilities across New Mexico, their staff and volunteers provide mentoring, tutoring, recovery groups, topics speakers, special events, character development, bible studies, transitional services, reproductive health classes and church services to adjudicated youth.
AOC New Mexico is a volunteer-led program that helps young people to learn life skills, become resilient youth, and teaches them to deal with all of the obvious issues we all come face to face with. Our goal is to get our youth to realize that they can overcome all of the things they deal with, whether it’s stress, taking tests, planning for college, or dealing with life’s challenges.
