Wise Fool New Mexico
Wise Fool New Mexico has a staff that is culturally diverse, and 74% identify publicly as LGBTQ+. Our flagship program BUST! fosters openness and acceptance of diversity by prioritizing self-identity as women, trans, or gender non-conforming people, and by making space for all body abilities. Teen BUST! is a two-week camp offered to low-income girls, non- binary, and at-promise youth who are nominated by teachers and counselors. By boosting the creative expression, both programs build social-emotional skills, expand self-confidence, and foster trust and teamwork. The participants ultimately become part of our vibrant Wise Fool community, and with gained resilience they can shield against life's perils.
