Volunteer: Defend Potential by Mentoring (Mentor 2.0 Program) Hybrid

Youth in our community have an abundance of potential - they just need someone in their corner to help them realize it! There are hundreds of kids in New Mexico who are waiting for a mentor who will stand with them and help them ignite their potential.


Big Brothers Big Sisters exists to create positive change in our community by matching youth with adult mentors to build powerful friendships. Volunteers tell us that being a mentor is one of the best experiences that they have ever had. It’s also not as time consuming as they thought it would be.


Our Mentor 2.0 program is tailored for working professionals ages 21+ who hold an associates degree or equivalent work experience (or higher). You will be matched with a high school student at South Valley Academy. Through weekly messages and once-per-month get togethers at the school, you'll help your mentee prepare for high school graduation and develop their college and career readiness!


In the Mentor 2.0 program;

We ask that mentors message their mentees at least once a week (using a secure, online platform) and commit to volunteering for at least a year. You will get together with your mentee once every 4 to 6 weeks at their high school for an evening event that is organized and hosted by BBBS staff. You are not alone in this. Your Big Brothers Big Sisters’ Match Support Specialist and a network of volunteers will be there with resources, opportunities and support.

Interview, training, and a background check will be required.

Please provide phone number and email address so we can confirm your interest.

Volunteer: Crafting with MaskupNM

MaskupNM is changing! We keep on crafting for change through volunteering for our community!

We are recruiting volunteers with any crafting skills to make handmade items that provide change and show how much we care to many different charity organizations in our city. Now that we have helped with over 100,000 protective masks and other items for first responders, medical professionals, and vulnerable individuals in the community, we want to keep providing handmade items that can make a difference, and that means you can help on your free time while you're turning your hobbies into real life help. 

If you can sew and have your own sewing machine, can knit, crochet, loom knit, or you can teach others or your kids to do the same, or even if you can only donate materials, then you can help. There's always projects to put your hands to help. We may be able to provide materials and patterns, depending on the task, and we'd like to know if you can join in action.

If you wish to continue the contact with this local effort, join the @MaskupNM Facebook community today to coordinate with others in Albuquerque undertaking this important work.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/maskupnm

For now, we highly encourage you to join a larger craftivism group which we are part of and also provided help with extra hands when we had a very large project in 2021. 

Crafting Change (https://www.craftingchange.org/) started just like us and saw the opportunity for members to keep helping other communities all across the United States. Their board members are dedicated to reach out to organizations in need of crafted items, agree on the characteristics of them, provide patterns, receive materials donations to redistribute and even organize events throughout the year to keep the spirits of volunteers high and alive. We encourage you to reach out to them and see the projects they are supporting at the moment. They also have a Facebook Community where you can socialize, ask questions, see important updates and participate in crafting meetings. If you contribute to any of their activities, you can log your hours here as well, every little bit of volunteerism counts!

This movement can help you turn your love for crafts into positive outcomes, but can also help you see the kind of crafts and simple things that can support communities. If you see something you like and think you can donate locally, let's talk about it!  We'd be glad to welcome any initiatives and address the local needs of Albuquerque and all of New Mexico. If you have any ideas you would like to share, click on RESPOND to this opportunity and leave what you have in mind in the Additional Notes section. You will be contacted to discuss your project and connect you locally.


If you are interested in donating materials or have any further questions, please contact us at MaskupNM@gmail.com

Volunteer: Ongoing Pro Bono Attorney Roles with NMILC

Pro bono work is a professional responsibility and an individual ethical commitment to give back to the community.

Volunteer attorneys and other legal professionals increase our capacity by taking on cases, providing technical assistance, and sharing their expertise. When an attorney agrees to take on a case with NMILC, the relationship does not end there. We provide ongoing technical assistance, mentorship, and language support for pro bono cases. NMILC’s malpractice insurance covers attorneys providing pro bono legal support with us. Pro bono attorneys and legal professionals help with a variety of case types:

Representing Youth Who Have Been Abandoned, Neglected, or Abused in State Court

Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) is a status available to some young people and provides a path to lawful permanent residence (a “green card”) for that child. In order to be eligible for SIJS, the child must be subject to a predicate order from a state court in which the court finds that the child has been abandoned, abused, or neglected by one or both parents.

We rely on assistance from pro bono attorneys who are willing to represent the petitioner in state court proceedings. These cases most often include sole custody, dissolution of marriage, kinship/guardianship, and emancipation proceedings. Typically, these are default cases, and they do not require a hearing. We provide support, templates, and step-by-step instructions to help you, and no family law experience is required. Each case takes between 10 and 30 hours over the course of a few months, on average.


Work with immigrants in detention.

Our programs at the Cibola/Torrance Detention Centers take place approximately once each month. We provide pro se assistance, consultations, screenings, and legal presentations to folks in detention. Non-attorney volunteers support this program by giving presentations, helping applicants fill out forms, and providing logistical support. This is a full-day commitment, usually on a weekday.

Volunteers must also be fluent in Spanish or a priority language.

Support asylum seekers.

Pro Bono attorneys and non-attorney volunteers work with pro se asylum applicants to complete their paperwork for their asylum cases. Roles at the asylum workshop include doing client intakes (for volunteers with previous experience/training), helping manage the flow of the workshop, assisting with childcare for clients, doing on-site translations. These workshops occur approximately once per month in-person.

All volunteers will be trained on I-589 forms prep and Asylum 101 prior to volunteering. We require volunteers for the asylum workshop to be fluent in Spanish and willing to be flexible with your role.

Support immigrants in your area of expertise.

In conjunction with other community organizations, NMILC is developing a network of attorneys with a wide range of expertise whose work intersects with issues of importance to immigrants. These attorneys could act as a resource for other attorneys or provide consultations to community members as needed.

We are particularly looking for people who can advise on employment law, powers of attorney and other life-planning documents in case of deportation, and civil rights. Please let us know if you have expertise in another area of the law and you are willing to share your knowledge pro bono for NMILC clients.
