New Teen Center Officially Open

The new Santa Fe Teen Center opened last weekend with two days of celebration and events for families, friends, and neighbors. Over a decade in the making, the Center is now operating 5 days a week with plans to expand hours and programming based on input from its users – teens ages 12 to 18 – in the coming weeks. The Center is completely free to use after registration and we're so excited to see how our teens make the space their own!
