If you are a middle-school or high-school student who wants fun events for teens to happen in Edgewood, come to a meeting and share your ideas (or just listen). Teens' ideas drive this group!
Be part of turning those ideas into actual teen events and activities -- Teen Nites, Movie Nites, Holiday Fun, and more!
We have a great group that meets at 5:45pm on the first and third Tuesday of each month at Edgewood Town Hall, and all are welcome to attend.

One in seven New Mexicans struggle with hunger. At Meals on Wheels, they offer home-delivered meals, wellness checks, and a friendly face to those who need it most. They’ve not only continued delivering throughout the pandemic but have actually increased their amount of clients which means they need all the more help. To learn more information about volunteering, visit their website.
10th - 12 grade are allowed to submit a maximum of 10 hours per school year for carpooling another EMHS student towards their community service hours!
East Mountain High School students are required to complete 20 hours of community service each year for a total of 80 hours as a part of their graduation requirements. East Mountain High School uses an online service called x2VOL that records and tracks our students community service hours. Current students who have an existing account can login to x2VOL. New students will set up their accounts with Tamara Marcelain during Advocacy in the Fall.
Incoming freshmen may begin accumulating community service hours during the summer months prior to their freshmen year at EMHS. Community service hours do carry over from year to year.
