The TTN community brings women together so they can expand their lives and support and inspire each other across life's transitions. |

We are pleased to announce that Girls, Inc. is the summer non-profit beneficiary of our Santa Fe TTN Community Outreach Program. Girls, Inc. embodies the ideals of The Transition Network and we are proud to support their important work. You can support Girls, Inc. in the following ways:
-
Monetary donations are always welcome and can be made directly through their website:
-
They have a few items on their wish list for the summer program. If you’d like to donate items, they can be taken directly to them at the Hillside Dr. address.
-
There may be ways for you to donate your time. This can be done by completing the “interest form” on the volunteer page of their website.
In all cases, please note that you are part of the Santa Fe TTN Chapter. We’d like to keep track of our group impact.
Girls Inc. of Santa Fe
Our research-based programming is delivered by trained professionals who focus on the development of the whole girl, supporting, mentoring, and guiding girls in an affirming, pro-girl environment. Here girls learn to value their whole selves, discover and develop their inherent strengths, and receive the support they need to navigate the challenges they face.
Girls Inc. girls live healthy and active lifestyles and are less likely to engage in risky behavior; they are eager to learn, successful in school, and more likely to graduate from post-secondary education; and they display diligence, perseverance and resilience.

On Tuesday June 8th, the Santa Fe TTN Chapter launched a new and exciting program called, ‘Good Neighbors.’ This program seeks to provide compassionate care and ‘neighborly’ support for fellow TTN members who need a hand. We had 18 members attend and join us, and we call that a resounding success. There will be another orientation in a few months for those who would like to participate and missed the one last month.
The Good Neighbors program aims to provide help for each other in three areas: home and household help; personal nurturing care, and medical-related needs. The program emphasized its three core principles. They include that confidentiality is golden, that there are boundaries to uphold in the give-and-take of being a good neighbor, and finally how we should share experiences, but not provide advice.
The orientation featured an online Powerpoint presentation that addressed the nature and expectations about what will be included for volunteers. It also included several online skits featuring two TTN ‘actresses’ who demonstrated how interactions with each other both should ~ and should not ~ transpire.
“I really liked how thorough yet concise the whole presentation was,” said Shari Carroll, Membership Co-coordinator and Steering Committee member. “And the skits, even though sometimes quite humorous, were particularly helpful with hammering home how interactions should take place when in the role of a ‘good neighbor’ to another good neighbor.”
