The Initiative at a Glance

The 100% New Mexico initiative starts with one goal: ensuring that all families can access the ten vital services they need to survive and thrive.

1
Goal

Ensuring that all families can access the ten vital services they need. Low-wage work often does not cover the real cost of essential services, and government can help close this gap as part of its social contract with residents.

10
Service Sectors

From medical care and behavioral health to housing, food security, transportation, job training, and early childhood learning — ten interconnected sectors that form the foundation of family success and community resilience.

7
Organizing Steps

A structured, county-level process: survey residents, analyze data, meet providers, vet the directory, research solutions, secure buy-in from leaders, and evaluate progress every year.

Across 33 counties, local teams can work through seven organizing steps to identify barriers, build partnerships, and improve access to vital services. This course translates that county-level work into ten modules so you can understand the full process and find your place within it.

Your Learning Journey

Each module follows a four-part rhythm — Start, Journey, Explore, Arrive — guiding you through the complete 100% New Mexico organizing process. Use this course one module at a time, alongside your real county work.
