Adult Leader and Youth Handbooks

New Mexico First provides a handbook to the adult leaders and the youth participants to support the program. The handbooks are organized around the weekly or bi-monthly meeting plans that are implemented throughout the school year. Each meeting plan takes less than two hours and is easily adapted to fit a classroom schedule or after-school activity.

The youth participants of the program build important academic and life skills:

• Civic engagement
• Team work
• Communication
• Critical thinking
• Research
• Reading
• Report writing
• Planning
• Budgeting
• Meeting facilitation
• Public speaking
• Technology
• Advocacy
• Media writing
