NMYCA ORIENTATION

Attending an orientation is an important step in the NMYCA application process—and it’s open to everyone! Whether you’ve already applied or you’re just curious about the program, orientations are the best way to learn what NMYCA is all about.

We offer sessions both in-person across New Mexico and virtually through Microsoft Teams, making it easy to attend no matter where you are. Just click the link below and join us on any device.

 

If you’ve submitted an application, don’t forget that attending an orientation is required to receive credit for this step.

Check out our upcoming orientation dates below. New sessions are added every month, so be sure to visit often for the latest updates.

Have questions or would prefer an in person meeting? Reach out to our Admissions Team for assistance.

HOW TO JOIN AN NMYCA ORIENTATION

  • To join an upcoming Virtual Orientation, simply find the date you wish to attend and click the event in the Calendar to see a pop up window.

  • On the pop up window, click the Teams Meeting link.

  • You may also use the “Join Orientation” button to the right, to join a meeting about to start or currently in progress.
