Mission Statement:

The North Campus Community Project works to support a sustainable and thriving community by enhancing our neighbor's autonomy, health, safety and well being.

As a community, we foster a sense of belonging through the interconnection of all ages with mutual generosity.

Primary Programs:

Elder and Disabled Volunteer Program: The NCCP provides neighbor-volunteer non-medical services to our Elders and disabled that are limited by income, transportation, health and or isolation. We provide non-medical transportation to medical appt., bank, or grocery store. We also perform light housekeeping, clutter-busting, pet services, companionship services, computer assistance.

Urban Garden Program: Establishing an urban garden tended by neighbors and in addition will provide nutritious vegetables to our Elder or disabled neighbors. This program is in development. We also offer a springtime sale of locally grown plants, flowers, bushes and trees to enhance the neighborhood, preserve the tree canopy, encourage backyard gardening, and support our local businesses.

Little Free Library Program: To promote reading and stronger community by providing throughout the North Campus neighborhood, accessible outdoor book stations with donated books..."give a book, take a book". This program is in development.

Community Center/Medical Clinic: North Campus neighborhood does not have a near-by community center nor a park. It is our intent to create both a community center where future programs can be conducted that will enhance our neighbors well-being and a medical clinic setting serving the needs of our Elders, disabled and all neighbors that need to seek medical attention. We want to encourage participation from the UNM Medical School residency program, pharmacy program, and nursing program. First phase of the medical program that is in progress: establish in-home medical visits.

We also encourage multi-generational interaction. We search for opportunities for our Elders and disabled to share their knowledge, experiences and wisdom with the younger generation and to encourage our younger generations to share their skills and expertise with the disabled or older generation.
