New Mexico Wildlife Center
New Mexico Wildlife Center's (NMWC) mission is to connect people and wildlife for an abundant tomorrow. Our wildlife hospital admits and treats over 800 patients per year from all over New Mexico with the goal of release back into the wild. NMWC's veterinarian and certified wildlife rehabilitators work seven days a week, 365 days per year to give the highest quality medical care to the animals in the wildlife hospital.
With 35non-releasable Ambassador Animals, NMWC also operates as an educational facility that helps to promote better understanding of and compassion towards New Mexico's native wildlife. NMWC reaches up to 7,000 people per year with onsite, offsite, and virtual wildlife education programs. At New Mexico Wildlife Center, our goal is to have every visitor leave with a better understanding of the wildlife around them and how to coexist with them.
League of Women Voters of Santa Fe County
The League of Women Voters of Santa Fe County is empowering the next generation of voters through its innovative High School Voter Registration Program. This student-driven initiative trains high schoolers as certified Voter Registration Agents (VRAs), equipping them to register their peers and foster civic leadership. In Fall 2024, nine student VRAs registered 500 new voters through school partnerships, friendly competitions, and mentorship—proving that youth-led outreach can meaningfully boost civic participation. With added focus on media literacy and combating misinformation, this program goes beyond registration to build informed, engaged citizens. By uniting students, educators, and community leaders, LWVSFC is laying the foundation for a stronger, more inclusive democracy.
