Advocacy services: cuidando los ninos is committed to being a community leader and advocate for social change to end child and family homelessness. Our advocacy program aims to ensure a home for every child in new mexico by raising public awareness regarding child homelessness, creating community networks of support for vulnerable children and families, and influencing state and local policies and programs. Cuidando los ninos has been awarded a year-long media campaign to address family homelessness including tv commercials, radio spots, and digital billboards. A sesame street-type character, "lenord", presents the harsh facts about children who are homeless. The "youth creating change film & art festival" was held in may 2012. Each year, middle and high-school students submit short films about child and family homelessness to raise awareness and encourage community action. Seventy-five (75) participants from five schools submitted 25 films. Over 300 people attended the festival.
