Our Mission

Our mission is to engage the youth heirs of the Sangre de Cristo Land Grant to develop deeper understandings of local and global social justice issues through a focus on art and outdoor recreation, resource preservation, community involvement, and entrepreneurship.

Heirs to the Land

Move Mountains Youth Leaders engage in community gardening projects to learn about local agriculture and economy through firsthand experience, develop their skills as workers united in a common purpose, and reap the rewards sewn by their own hands by selling their crops and donating healthy food to their community.

Handwritten signs on large sheets of paper displayed on stands. The signs have Spanish phrases including 'BROWNS BEAUTIFUL,' 'VIVA LA IGNANCIA,' and 'RAZA POR LA.'

Preservers of Culture

Chicana/o/x history can not be passed down without the poetry, music, teatro, murals and arts of the Chicanx movement. Move Mountains collaborates with educators, historians, artists, and elders to provide the youth of the San Luis Valley with opportunities to absorb, enjoy, create and celebrate their cultural identity through art and self-expression.
