Our Mission


100% Otero’s mission is to ensure that 100% of county residents have access to the ten vital services for surviving and thriving. We are promoting a culture of caring to heal and help our neighbors. We are working to strengthen systems of care to prevent adverse childhood experiences, social adversity and vulnerability to public health crises and economic disruptions.

Our Vision


Imagine every child grows up with joy, health, safety and stability within a caring family. A time when every student is empowered to succeed in school. A tomorrow when every family lives in a community with the resources to care for one another.

Let’s make 100% of our children thrive.

Response


Children are totally dependent on their parents, some thrive while others endure adversity, abuse and trauma. Our students are enrolled in schools preparing for the future, or at risk for falling behind. Our communities may be well-resourced and empowering, while others lack the services to survive and thrive. Across Otero County and all New Mexico, we live in different communities, each with their own histories, challenges and opportunities.
