Welcome to the Santa Fe Boys

In these issues of Santa Fe Boys Newsletter and elsewhere on this website, we examine what is happening to boys in our community and attempt to clarify their needs.

One way we do this is through a statistical portrait of boys; we present a fact-based, objective picture of the health, educational and emotional status of boys today in Santa Fe, in New Mexico and in the United States.

We also look behind the statistics at what is happening in our society that influences boys. We do this through articles about boys and young men who tell us what growing up here is like and through interviews with people in our community who work with boys, like social workers, psychologists, and teachers who interpret the situation of boys for us through their experiences.

We hope this newsletter becomes a forum for others to share their concerns, enthusiasms, and successes about sons, students, or friends by encouraging those with an interest in this subject—boys, fathers, mothers and others—to write about them. If you would like to contribute an article or a comment on the subjects raised here or other subjects related to boys in our community, please contact us at PO Box 273, Santa Fe, NM 87504-0273 or e-mail us at: santafeboys@comcast.net.
