SIGNIFICANT ISSUES

New Mexico is home to more than five-hundred thousand people under the age of 18. New

Mexico’s youth should be encouraged to participate in socially and culturally appropriate and

significant activities that reinforce positive behavior through strengthening bonds held with their

parents, guardians, and mentors. Exposure to the legislative process and Legislators can provide

New Mexico’s youth with a positive means of self-expression, and appropriate role models.
