Now growing in over 18 counties, our 100% New Mexico initiative’s many moving parts are explained in whimsical animation in the online course “How to 100%.” When you’re the first state (ahead of 49 others) to take on the mission of 100% of families thriving with access to ten vital services for surviving and thriving, a “How to…” course comes in mighty handy.
By enrolling in “How to 100%,” you’ll find insights on strengthening the local initiative’s process of ensuring ten vital services through various activities. The projects illustrated in this cartoon-filled course are part of the groundbreaking 100% New Mexico initiative strategy designed to unite local champions to ensure all the services promoting health, safety, education, resilience, and self-sufficiency.
Learning was never this fun.
Participants of the “How to 100%” course will explore the following lessons:
- How does a local 100% New Mexico coordinator monitor progress?
- How is the 100% New Mexico county survey implemented?
- How is the local 100% New Mexico summit created?
- How is a 100% New Mexico mural project developed?

Connect with the growing 100% movement.
Ask anyone engaged with the initiative, it is quickly growing into something so powerful you can practically feel it. There’s a real sense of possibility. Collaboration is a critical component of this growth, so an extra feature of the “How to 100%” course (and all our courses in the Training Center) is connecting with other champions and sharing ideas and insights across the state in discussion rooms. Engaging in the other local 100% New Mexico initiative members gets you on the same page with the mission, vision, goals, and the seven activities outlined in the “How to 100%” course.
Explore our 100% New Mexico Training Center to enroll in the free, self-paced course, and learn about one of the most groundbreaking initiatives in the nation, with a goal of nothing less than making sure 100% of our state’s children, students, and families can thrive.
Mission: The 100% New Mexico initiative is dedicated to ensuring that 100% of families can access ten vital services crucial for their overall health, resilience, and success. This university-sponsored endeavor necessitates the local implementation of evidence-based strategies encompassing both community and school-based service hubs, aiming to prevent the most pressing and costly public health and safety challenges, including adverse social determinants of health and adverse childhood experiences.
