The Santa Fe Children’s Project: The Santa Fe Children’s Project (SFCP) is an innovative community development initiative of United Way of Santa Fe County.

The SFCP seeks to strengthen families, and the whole community, through an interconnected network of early intervention, education, and economic development. The intent is to create a stronger, more vibrant, healthy community in which children will naturally succeed in school and beyond.  All families, no matter the income level, participate in a wide array of opportunities: social, educational, economic and community development programs that, taken together, can change the academic, social, and economic conditions of the whole neighborhood leading to greatly increased community assets, family strengths, and, ultimately, success for children. 

First Born® Program & Baby University: The First Born® Program is a home visitation   curriculum that serves families with children pre-natal to three years old. Baby University focuses on early childhood literacy.

Economic Development: Family savings and financial literacy programs.
Out-of-School-Time Program: Collaborative planning for enriching activities for kids and parents that enhance academic performance.  Serves 5-12 year olds and their families.
