TAKE THE 2009 CLEAN AIR CHALLENGE
The City of Albuquerque Department of Transportation is looking for your support to improve air quality in our city.
Each winter the air over Albuquerque often becomes hazy and the number one cause of this haze in Albuquerque is vehicle emissions.
Take the 2009 Clean Air Challenge, from November to February 2009, by pledging to use alternative transportation, like the bus, train, carpool, bike or walk.
Any form of alternative transportation can save money and helps the environment.

YDI’s Mentoring Initiative
NEED VOLUNTEER MENTORS
For the 2008-2009 School Year!
Over 100 Children in the Albuquerque area between the ages of 4 and 17 have been referred to our program and they want to be matched with a mentor!
A mentor is simply a friend and a guide that visits with a child regularly, shares their interests, helps with homework, and/or participates in fun community activities.
Various factors in our society have pulled nuclear families apart and decreased neighborhood safety so that many children can no longer seek guidance safely from a neighbor or a family member.
Children can benefit tremendously from spending time with a caring adult volunteer, and research has shown that the results can last a lifetime!
“Even if I’m in a bad mood before I visit with my mentee, after spending an hour with her I feel so good! Just seeing her face, how happy she is that I’m there, and having her confide in me can turn my whole day around. I know that I am doing something truly meaningful with my time.” ~ Mentor, Age 26
“ My favorite part about have a mentor is to have fun with her and to have a best friend. My mentor makes me happy.” ~Mentee, Age10
YDI’s Mentoring Initiative is a local program that has had an exceptional connection to the needs of Albuquerque’s youth for almost 20 years.
We offer 3 programs to accomodate any volunteer’s busy schedule or specific need for location.
YDI Provides activities and training.
Please call 271-2066 or 338-2944 for more information or to find out how to get involved.
Even if you are not interested in becoming a mentor, you can still help us build a brighter future for New Mexico, one child at a time! Please send this to every local (Bernalillo County) contact person in your address book.
Thank You!
