Letter from Cooper
Welcome back to school, everyone!
I am totally psyched to jump right into another fun year working with the Santa Fe Mountain Center and the New Mexico GSA Network!
We are growing faster than ever, and building a movement to help schools become safe places for ALL students to learn! We are connecting LGBTQ youth to vital resources in their schools, communities and nationally. We are working with straight allies for social justice and support, and connecting the movement for LGBTQ Equality with other social justice movements! And we have lots of fun doing it! We work hard but have a blast doing it, and it's a great way to make new friends, meet youth from all over New Mexico and create change in your life and lives around you!
This year is already shaping up to be action-packed, with new people, new energy, and new Youth Council members, as well as returning GSA's and returning Youth Council members who are dedicated to the work (and play!) that we do!
Please check this web site frequently for updated events listings and other opportunities! We will be updating our resource pages, our downloads, and scholarship and employment opportunities for LGBTQ and straight ally youth! And as always, please check out hotline message for current events! (505) 983-6158 ext. 33
I am looking forward to a great year!
Cooper
