Healing in Nature, a part of Project THRIVE's year-long initiative, focuses on enhancing the well-being of LGBTQ+ youth in Northern New Mexico by providing free, guided outdoor recreation opportunities. It addresses the affected youth's financial and social obstacles and offers safe, affirming programs that foster physical and emotional health through activities like nature walks, outdoor cookouts and overnight camping. By encouraging outdoor exploration and fostering peer relationships, the program seeks to improve participants’ outdoor safety knowledge, environmental stewardship, and appreciation of their local natural resources.
The mission of the Human Rights Alliance (HRA) is to educate, engage, encourage, and celebrate LGBTQ+ inclusion, pride, and acceptance for all people. The Human Rights Alliance was founded in 1993 in response to the defeat of Senate Bill 91, civil rights legislation for lesbians and gay men. Rallying around the enthusiasm of our grassroots crusade, local activists joined together to create this non-profit organization whose primary goal was to end all forms of discrimination. HRA seeks to build coalitions with groups that will work for the civil rights of all New Mexicans and to develop outreach programming to support the community. In addition to these goals, we organize the annual Santa Fe Pride Festival, held at the end of June. Pride Santa Fe is a wonderful event for all Santa Fe citizens to celebrate the unique, diverse, supportive, artistic community that is Santa Fe.
