This could be the opportunity of a lifetime for a citizen of Santa Fe to help heal the city's historic wounds and plan a peaceful future based on mutual knowledge, understanding, and respect: Residents of the city and county are invited to apply to join the team that will conduct the CHART Project for Culture, Healing, Art, Reconciliation, and Truth.

Under the direction of project leaders Artful Life, this team of facilitators will work from September, 2021, through May, 2022. Youth (high school-age students) and adults of all backgrounds and experiences are encouraged to apply. Trainings will include cultivating skills in community outreach and dialogue, interviewing, and/or arts engagement. Facilitators will earn $20-30 an hour for five to ten hours of work per week on flexible schedules. The deadline for applications is midnight, Wednesday, September 1.

After the team is in place, residents will be invited to participate in the the CHART Project in a variety of ways — sign up for notifications at santafenm.gov/chart. "The more residents who participate, the more the outcomes will reflect the collective perspectives, desires, and dreams of the community," say project directors Valerie Martínez and Jenice Gharib, of Artful Life. "We invite every Santa Fean — young and old — to join us by participating in one or more of the many events and activities that will unfold over the next ten months."
