HOME SWEET HOPE
Help a child thrive in foster care. Volunteer.Help Give a Child a Voice.
Get Involved Today!
Our volunteers advocate for children who have been abused or neglected. These children are in an overburdened system and can feel voiceless or even invisible. We are not just advocates, but problem-solvers who work with children in foster care to ensure their needs are being met and their voices are being heard.
We care about helping vulnerable children.

Children who find themselves in the foster care system need a voice. They need you to speak up for them. Our volunteers advocate for children who have been abused or neglected.
Donate to help foster children
Children served by New Mexico Kids Matter come from your community–they live in our neighborhoods, play on our teams, attend our churches. There are hundreds of these children in our county. Children who have done nothing wrong but were let down by someone they should have been able to count on to protect them. It is a violation of the most basic of trust.
Meet Our Courthouse Dogs
Cassie & Nicole
Our dogs work full-time at New Mexico Kids Matter and travel throughout the state of New Mexico to meet with and support the emotional needs of children in the Child Youth and Family Department System.

Learn as a CASA Volunteer
See how you can be fullfilled.
Most people go into their experience as a CASA volunteer hoping to change a child’s life, and not knowing how much it will change their own. Volunteers are always sharing how some of the things they’ve learned during their time as a volunteer advocate, and how they’ve been able to apply that knowledge to other aspects of their life.
