The Wellness Coalition
(TWC) is getting ready for a busy
summer this year with the Youth
Volunteer Corps (YVC), Youth
Conservation Corps (YCC), and
a Youth Advocacy
Summit (YAS). "All of
these programs have
opportunities for
young people to im-
prove their community, earn an
income, and/or receive a schol-
arship," says Executive Director,
Christy Ortiz. "These programs
are designed to provide early job"
skills not always available for
young people in rural communi-
ties."
The YVC team has been
working on projects around the
community all year. Team lead-
ers Natasha McCants and Jessica
Sanchez have worked with young
people in the community to plan
and coordinate projects and the
team has some really fun things
in store for this summer. Two

Like other volunteer oppor-
tunities offered through the de-
partment and local senior volun-
teer agencies, this program serves
the dual purpose of helping com-
munity members while promot-
ing healthy aging among the vol-
unteers.
Remaining healthy as we
age, we can live the independent
lives we all want. This indepen-
dence, in turn, makes life easier
for our caregivers. The challenges
we face are complex and will con-
tinue to grow as our community
ages. For the benefit of all, New
Mexicans will continue address-
ing them in a caring, systematic
manner.
With Older Americans
Month upon us, I invite you to
start a conversation about this
with family, friends and col-
leagues. Think about what it
means to have one third of our
population 60 and older. Think
about what you want your life to
look like beyond that age. And
thank a senior for all they've
done, and continue to do, to make
New Mexico great.
