Santa Fe’s PIVOT program gives youth a real second chance

Kids in New Mexico face some of the toughest challenges in the country, from family struggles to exposure to gangs. What’s new is Santa Fe’s PIVOT program, a fresh approach that’s actually keeping young people out of the justice system—by connecting them with creative outlets and support instead of just punishment. It’s a pilot effort run by UNM professors and Moving Arts Española, and it’s already making a difference. But there’s a catch: there aren’t enough services to reach everyone who needs help. How do you think our community should step up to support these efforts? #Education #SantaFe #YouthJustice
