The Rotary Club of Santa Fe is marking its centennial year with a commitment to making a lasting impact on the youth of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Two local nonprofits, the Santa Fe Children’s Museum and ¡YouthWorks!, have been chosen as partners in this monumental endeavor. For the Santa Fe Children’s Museum, the Rotary Club of Santa Fe has funded the Van of Enchantment—a mobile museum designed to bring the wonders of the Children’s Museum directly to communities in Santa Fe County and Northern New Mexico. This innovative approach ensures that schoolchildren in rural and tribal areas have access to educational resources in science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics (STEAM), and the humanities. Additionally, the Rotary Club is contributing to the renovation of the Santa Fe Children’s Museum amphitheater, transforming it into a central gathering space within The Backyard—an acreplus outdoor area. The amphitheater will feature ADA
accessible entrances and pathways, a musical park with instruments, seating, and a versatile performance space. Turning attention to ¡YouthWorks!, the Rotary Club of Santa Fe is aligning its efforts with the organization’s mission to provide strong career foundations for the program’s participants. The Rotary Club of Santa Fe is serving as lead contributor for the fundraising efforts to establish a new commercial kitchen — also known as a Social Justice Kitchen — on Cerrillos Road, — capable of producing 1,200 meals a day along with both front-of-house and back-ofhouse career training for ¡YouthWorks! participants. In both projects, the Rotary Club of Santa Fe exemplifies its commitment to community service and youth development. The initiatives not only address immediate needs but also contribute to the long-term well-being of the youth in Santa Fe. As the Rotary Club of Santa Fe celebrates its centennial, these projects stand as testament to its enduring dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of those it serves.
As we mark this historic milestone, we extend a warm invitation to those who share our commitment to service. Join the Rotary Club of Santa Fe, and be part of something larger than yourself—a century-old tradition of making a positive impact. Join us in building a better world—one community, one friendship, one service project at a time. Here’s to the next century of making a meaningful difference. Learn more at rotarysantafe.com
