Afterschool Ambassador, 2007-2008
The New Mexico Afterschool Alliance recently appointed Cindy Davies, Bernalillo County Cooperative Extension Agent to take the volunteer position of NM Afterschool Alliance Ambassador based on her outstanding 4-H afterschool program work. The Afterschool Ambassador works for a year with local and state contacts to build awareness of the need for more quality afterschool programs. Cindy is the first New Mexico 4-H agent to fulfill this important leadership and partnership role for the Afterschool Alliance.
Afterschool Alliance partners include educators, youth, youth advocates, policy makers, faith-based leaders, parents, business leaders, police and prosecutors, entertainers, and others who recognize that afterschool programs are a necessity for healthy communities. The message promoted by the Afterschool Alliance is three fold, 1) to support working families, 2) provides a rich learning environment for children, helping to improve academic achievement, 3) provide a safe place for young people to be afterschool.
Every year the Afterschool Alliance works with afterschool providers throughout New Mexico in supporting their “Lights on Afterschool” events. Lights on Afterschool is a national campaign in October to draw attention to some of the wonderful programs kids participate in after the school day is over. 4-H has long been a leader in positive, experiential learning opportunities for young people. Being a part of such state and national efforts helps promote 4-H and helps the afterschool providers learn what 4-H has to offer.

The Native American Community Academy began operation in September of 2006.
This innovative charter school is geared for Native American mid-high students living in the Albuquerque area offering a strong academic opportunity while at the same time learning more of their native culture, languages and customs. One of the main components for NACA is an afterschool program which offers the children tutoring, mentoring and a variety of experiential learning opportunities. During the 2006-2007 school year I helped train the afterschool staff of NACA in Positive Youth Development, and behavior management as well as 4-H project opportunities. At the beginning of the 2007-2008 school year I am again working closely with NACA’s afterschool staff. We plan on bringing in the ICAN educators for nutrition and cooking classes.
The school served 70+ student the first year and has increased to 100 this school year.

In early June a three day training took place for the 180+ older teens, college students and adults working in the 28 Albuquerque Community Centers which run summer programs for the children in their neighborhoods. One day of the training I did 4 sessions on "managing challenging behaviors" and another day I did repeat sessions "fun, quick and easy activities to do with a group of kids".
Through out the school year I train and assist Albuquerque community center directors with new staff training and program idea for their afterschool programs. These centers have been very open to 4-H curriculum and programs.
