2010-2011 Dona Ana County Civil Rights Report

ICAN/KIDS CAN CIVIL RIGHTS REPORT
SITUATION STATEMENT:
Dona Ana County within New Mexico State University Cooperative Extension Service (CES), as the state's 1862 land-grant university, recognizes the importance of diversity and inclusion in the development and implementation of Extension programs. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 states that no person on the grounds of race, color, religion, sex or national origin will be excluded from participation in or benefits of any program receiving federal funding. The Dona Ana County ICAN program monies are received from two USDA federal grants. They are the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) grant and the Supplemental Assistance Nutrition Program (SNAP) grant funds.
TARGET AUDIENCE AND ACTIONS:
Civil rights compliance work is ongoing. The ICAN home economist uses civil rights artifacts collected, such as county demographic data, the public notification steps of programs, and data of who attends the programming, to determine gaps in outreach efforts and potential needs of underserved audiences.
Since Dona Ana County has a large number of Spanish speaking residents, all ICAN classes are presented and advertised in both Spanish and English. Almost all of our participant handouts are in Spanish as well as English. Affirmative action and ADA statements are used on all fliers, program announcements and advertisements for the Dona Ana County ICAN program. The USDA "...And Justice for ALL" poster showing the nondiscrimination policy statement and how to file a civil rights complaint is prominently displayed in the office area visited by the public and this poster is displayed at each ICAN adult and youth class. The ICAN representatives for the advisory board are representative of the gender and ethnic profile of Dona Ana County. The state civil rights review was held on March 23rd, 2011, in the Dona Ana County Extension office. The ICAN files were found to be up to date and in order.
The ICAN Home Economist is aware of and contributes regularly to the Civil Rights file which is located in the central office area.
