NM-NEW aims to provide retirees with meaningful opportunities and support to continue contributing to the community and economy at their own pace. NM-NEW engages New Mexicans aged 50-70+ through learning events, work, volunteering, and social connections.
Our online Engagement Connection Center (ECC) connects businesses, nonprofits, and civic organizations with skilled New Elders, offering guidance for their next endeavors. We seek funding from various sources to expand our reach.
By 2030, nearly 1 in 3 New Mexicans will be over 60. Many adults in this age group want or need to keep working, but may be unfamiliar with new career paths, volunteering opportunities, or consulting roles. 80% of Baby Boomers plan to work after retirement, yet 25% of retirees enter poverty. NM-NEW provides easy, accessible ways to stay engaged, build skills, and contribute to their communities.
NM-NEW’s Engagement Connection Center (ECC) is the central place where connections begin.
Inside the ECC, you can:
Think of the ECC as a shared space for opportunity — not a job board, but a community connector.

Whether you’re exploring what’s next in midlife or seeking experienced talent, NM-NEW is here to help.
New Elders are skilled individuals who are retired or nearing retirement and ready to stay engaged. Many contribute as consultants, mentors, advisors, part-time employees, or volunteers — strengthening organizations and communities across New Mexico.
