Opportunities From: One Albuquerque Volunteers

Keep Albuquerque Beautiful, in partnership with Fuse Makerspace, is excited to host this year's fall Fix It Clinic! This free, all-ages event provides a unique opportunity for participants to bring their broken household items—such as bikes, small appliances, electronics, and sewing projects—and learn how to repair them with the guidance of experienced coaches. Instead of sending these items to the landfill, attendees will learn valuable skills in assessing, disassembling, and fixing their belongings.

The FixIt Clinic is more than just a repair event; it’s an educational experience that fosters sustainability and creativity. Last year, more than 150 people participated in diagnosing and repairing over 200 items, with attendees expressing high satisfaction from the hands-on, expert assistance they received. In response to the increased interest, we're hosting a fall Fix It Clinic this year in addition to our annual spring event. 

We are looking for skilled individuals who are handy and experienced in sewing, woodwork, leatherwork, electronics, small appliances, and jewelry. We invite you to register as a coach if you have any of these skills. 

Get ready to be a part of something truly spectacular! The City of Albuquerque Solid Waste Management Department and Keep Albuquerque Beautiful, in partnership with Imagine ABQ, proudly present our Fiesta Fanatics Cleanup Event. This exciting event takes place one week before the 53rd annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, as we prepare for the best time of the year in Albuquerque.

Join us at Balloon Fiesta Park as we unite neighborhood associations, school groups, local businesses, and community activism groups in a massive cleanup ahead of Balloon Fiesta. Our goal is to make our beautiful city shine as we get ready for our favorite time of year, the world-renowned Balloon Fiesta, and we need your help to make it happen!

As a Fiesta Fanatic, you'll be among the first to kick off the festivities for this year's Balloon Fiesta. Volunteers will receive free lunch at the event. Additionally, there will be various giveaways thanks to our partners at the Parks and Recreation Department throughout the day.

This is your chance to celebrate early, connect with fellow community members, and showcase your Albuquerque pride.
