New Mexico Asian Family Center

Our mission is to provide culturally sensitive programs and services creating a Pan-Asian community that advocates for and supports itself.

The New Mexico Asian Family Center (the NMAFC) was established in 2006 as the first and only social services agency in the state focused on serving the diverse Asian, Pacific Islander, and Native Hawaiian (APINH) communities of New Mexico. Rooted in a deep commitment to healing justice, language access, anti-racism, and community-based leadership, the NMAFC works to address systemic inequities while honoring the cultural strengths of those we serve. We recognize that APINH communities are not monolithic, and we intentionally center the lived experiences of immigrants, refugees, and historically underserved populations.

The NMAFC offers a range of survivor-led and centered direct social services, advances policy advocacy and civic engagement work, nurtures spaces for youth and family leadership development, and grounds its services in the traditional modalities of healing through practices that have been with our families across generations. Our services are tailored for immigrants and refugees, survivors of gender-based violence and other crimes, speakers of APINH languages, and low to extremely low-income individuals and families in the APINH community.
