Hope Through Recovery
Following the Hermit’s Peak and Calf Canyon Fire Complex, the land is scorched and burned.

Last week, the Hermit's Peak Watershed Alliance invited us to join them north of Las Vegas, NM to learn more about the important work ahead in the restoration of our lands and water. Here are photos from our visit:

Northern New Mexico Youth Fund Launches Grant Opportunity
Nonprofit organizations, Tribal entities, and middle and high schools that help young people thrive are invited to join Q&A sessions about this new opportunity. The Northern New Mexico Youth Fund was created by the Northern New Mexico Pathways to Opportunity Strategy Table, of which the Santa Fe Community Foundation is a member, to expand opportunities for young people to thrive in school, work, and life. The Fund supports innovative Career Technical Education (CTE) and Work-Based Learning (WBL) programs for young people ages 13 to 29. In addition to funding direct services, the Youth Fund will give a grant to an organization to serve as a regional resource hub to support grantees with implementation, evaluation, shared learning, and securing sustainable funding.
