What is ENGAGE New Mexico?

“The program was engaging, responsive, and helpful. The mentor we worked with was very helpful and knowledgeable in all of my child's academic courses, which were advanced. My daughter and I are looking forward to working with the program again next year.”

“The ENGAGE program has helped me become a better student. My mentor has helped me become more motivated and excited about learning. They are extremely helpful and always want to know other ways they can help. They are always encouraging me to do better than yesterday! I am extremely grateful I have the help from this program!”

“I couldn't ask for better dedication and support for my daughter. Our mentor is a blessing and has incredible energy. I love how she got my daughter more out of her shell, talking more (finding her voice to speak up more). Thanks to our mentor and this program, my daughter loves school and learning again. This program is the best thing that could ever happen for my daughter and me!”
