The HELP-NM Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act Youth Program (WIOA-Youth) staff held their annual Outreach Blitz in July travelling to various underserved locations throughout the seven NM Southwest Counties.  They had the opportunity to meet with members of the communities, employers and youth, who are already involved or interested in participating in our program.

The WIOA Youth Program is specifically designed to provide year-round assistance to youth between the ages of 14 and 21 in training, education, and work experience to prepare youth for entering the workforce.  This program assists youth in completing high school or obtaining a GED, entering a higher education program, obtaining employment, retaining employment or finding better employment.

There are currently  54 youth enrolled in the WIOA Youth Program.

HELP-New Mexico would like to thank all our sponsors from this year’s Annual Golf Classic that took place on May 5th, 2018 at the New Mexico State University Golf Course. Thanks to their support and generosity, HELP-New Mexico will be able to continue providing much-needed services throughout the state.

On Thursday April 5, 2018 and April 12, 2018,  HELP New Mexico’s Foster Grandparent Program (FGP) and Senior Companion Program (SCP) conducted a National Day of Recognition for our volunteers with guest speakers, music, food, and awards in Las Vegas and Española.

HELP-NM is extending the period for completing tax returns for those taxpayers who have either requested an extension or are late submitting their tax returns.  Locations around the State will continue to accept appointments through the IRS second deadline of October 15, 2018.

HELP-NM is a participant in the VITA Tax program. VITA is an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) program designed to help low and moderate income (generally, $54,000 or less) taxpayers, seniors, and individuals with disabilities complete their annual tax returns at no cost.

Volunteers are trained and certified to ensure low income families who qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), receive it.

Please visit your nearest HELP-New Mexico office location listed to assist you with your tax returns. Locations will be appointments only.
