New Mexicans overwhelmingly support investing in our kids across the state.
Since 2018, SCAN has been advancing early childhood education and child nutrition legislation in NM to ensure every kid has a strong start to life.
We’re training New Mexicans to be leaders for kids in their communities. Join us in laying the groundwork for New Mexico’s future.
