Ngage New Mexico
Grants Awarded
Ngage aims to expand family engagement through guided outdoor activities, particularly for families new to recreation or lacking experience. By collaborating with partners like New Mexico State University (NMSU) and Friends of the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks (OMDP), the program will promote outdoor education and support local school districts, ultimately fostering stronger family bonds and enhancing community involvement in nature-based experiences. Additional initiatives include family cooking and art nights, which can be integrated into outdoor programming.
