Fathers New Mexico or FathersNM promotes positive masculinity and encouraging men to be nurturing family and community members. FathersNM provides mentoring, teaching and group activities to support fathers through job placement, education and information about local services. Empowering men to be healthy fathers yields positive outcomes for their families. FathersNM is committed to helping at risk middle school boys with their Future Men Project, designed to encourage healthy choices, positive masculinity, and hopeful perspectives as they navigate the difficulties of adolescence. The mission of Fathers New Mexico is to "nurture connections between the father, the family, and the community to promote self, family, and community health."
Fathers Building Futures is a social enterprise based in Albuquerque, NM. They are led by non-profit professionals as well as a team of formerly incarcerated parents who serve as mentors and supervisors to parents (mostly fathers) returning home from prison.
Our mission is “to ensure parents and families experiencing barriers from incarceration receive the best opportunities for stability — emotionally, socially, and financially.”
We believe that by giving the moms and dads who come through our program a true second chance, they can fulfill their potential and become role models for their children as well as productive members of our community.
