About

Encuentro’s mission is to transform New Mexico into a thriving community for all of its residents. They do this by engaging with Latino immigrant families in educational and career development opportunities that build skills for economic and social justice.

Encuentro is committed to the belief that quality education should build both individual and community knowledge, and with that knowledge comes individual and community power.

Encuentro’s collaborative model demonstrates that strategic community partnerships can expand and strengthen the safety net for immigrant families; furthermore, when programs are collectively offered in a culturally relevant, justice-oriented environment, they act as entry points into leadership development and community engagement opportunities, which build social capital and promote social and economic justice.
