Created in June 2025 in partnership between SFPS’s WAVE program and New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence at the Santa Fe Teen Center (6600 Valentine Way).

Created in 2025 by Santa Fe youth, this mural reflects the challenges young people face—such as violence, discrimination, and mental health challenges—as well as the resilience, resources, support, and hope that help them thrive. It honors the voices of young people while reminding us of their strength, dreams, and capacity to inspire change, along with their love for the community of Santa Fe.
