Shelley Repp is the Executive Director of the New Mexico Dream Center. Every day she and her volunteers help to save young people from sex traffickers. Shelley explains the methods used by criminals to lure youngsters through social media. It is bone-chilling to hear about what traffickers do when they find homeless children on the street. Shelley provides training to teachers, administrators, law enforcement, and parents to help prevent and identify children at risk for domestic minor sex trafficking.

UNM Football Offensive Coordinator Derek Warehime is ready to give the football to his players and start the season. Of course, like the rest of America, Covid-19 is keeping them off the field. From our interview, you can tell Coach Warehime is a great motivator. I was impressed with his commitment to relationships with Lobo players on the field and off. Every day the coaching staff are communicating with their players to make sure they are using their time wisely. Coach Derek sounds like a pretty good Dad in addition to being a great football coach!  For information about Lobo Football, see GoLobos.com.
