Since March 2012, an inter-generational family literacy space, called Story Garden, takes place every Saturday at the Gallup flea market, making books, puzzles, crafts and other educational resources available to families selling and buying goods at the market. A second mobile Story Garden began in 2013 and takes place once a week in various neighborhoods of the Gamerco community. Home workshops take place with a few families from the wider area. We offer in-depth accompaniment to a small number of families who could benefit from more individualized support for needs related to housing, food security, education, employment, and visitation with their children (if the children are placed outside the parents’ care.)
ATD Fourth World strives to develop meaningful opportunities for the rural populations of Northwestern NM. We actively participate in cross-sector coalitions and collaborative projects with both established stakeholders and everyday community members. Together with these partners, we create innovative opportunities related to youth and adult education, the arts, technical skills, and meaningful service learning for community members from all walks of life.
