About Us
Together We Rise
In our over 30-year history, we’ve put “knowledge is power” into action and witnessed lives, communities, and systems forever changed. As a grassroots advocacy organization, we learn together and engage people in the issues that most affect their lives.
Our Approach
At PCA, we center leadership skills, create new connections and opportunities, and build advocates for community-led solutions. We know that when the community takes ownership of solutions and leads the way, we create a brighter, more just future where every family has the opportunity to thrive.
Here's How
We invest in people.
We work in a deeply personal way with our neighbors to engage them in civic life and to take action on the issues that most affect our lives.
We organize communities.
We encourage families, neighborhoods, and institutions to come together to advance community-led solutions.
We Develop Strong Leaders.
Through education, training, and a commitment to enduring relationships, we help develop strong leaders who are effective advocates for the communities we call home.
We advocate for systemic change.
At the state level, we work with community leaders to improve access to quality education, wellness, and economic opportunity for all.
Our history
Partnership for Community Action has worked to build strong, healthy communities in Albuquerque’s South Valley and across New Mexico since 1990. Over our history we have focused on community-led solutions to pressing issues, from substance abuse prevention to increasing access to high-quality early childhood education and economic opportunities. We build power and support solutions by communities, for communities.
