Aspiring teachers in New Mexico now have a new ally in their journey to the classroom with the launch of TEACHNewMexico.org, offering free career tools, personalized guidance from current educators and up to $100 toward application costs. As New Mexico faces ongoing teacher shortages, this new initiative serves as a one-stop shop for anyone exploring a career in education. The platform provides financial aid assistance, test prep support and help navigating educator preparation programs across the state.

Fiestas de Taos is a community celebration honoring the two patron saints of Taos, Santa Ana and Santiago. It is a centuries old fiesta celebrating the gathering of generations to enjoy delicious cuisine, traditional music, and fellowship, while honoring the cultural uniqueness of Taos. The theme for the 2025 Fiestas de Taos is "Diversity is the One True Thing We All Have in Common."

New Mexicans will now have access to more coordinated and comprehensive support for older adults, individuals with disabilities, and their caregivers through the Long-Term Care Division. The newly re-activated division will oversee a range of critical programs, including New MexiCare, the Veterans-Directed Care Program, the Office of Alzheimer’s and Dementia, Care Transitions, and the Kinship Caregiver Pilot Program. Together, these programs form the foundation of the Department’s programmatic services, empowering New Mexicans to age with dignity, independence and support.

Starting July 1, New Mexico resident veterans are eligible for a lifetime pass for day-use and camping access to all New Mexico State Parks. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed House Bill 161 to provide recreational opportunities for New Mexico veterans in the last legislative session. The New Mexico State Parks Division (NMSP) partnered with the Department of Veterans’ Services (NMDVS) to quickly implement this new benefit.
