Volunteers Make ABQ CiQlovía Happen!
Each year ABQ CiQlovía event is powered by about 40-50 volunteers on event day. We hope you'll join us, meet others from the neighborhood, and enjoy your city in a whole new way.
How will volunteers help out?
Volunteers will have a variety of opportunities at CiQlovía 2024. Each role will have at least a morning and an afternoon shift. Volunteers will be provided with necessary materials and will be expected to complete shifts without supervision.
We encourage you to sign up to work the shift with friends or coworkers! Just send them the link to this page. Volunteers will receive a CiQlovía t-shirt (first come, first-serve) and a big thank-you from the CiQlovía Team!
We will reach out to registered volunteers closer to the date of the event with additional details.
What and how?
ROUTE RABBITS will:
***Highly encouraged to have bicycle, skateboard, scooter, or skates***
- Circulate through a portion (0.10-.25 miles) of route for duration of event.
- Encourage people to move into the roadway and off of the sidewalks when the event begins.
- Routinely check on Activity Hubs Volunteers and Information Booth Volunteers and offer biology breaks.
- As the beginning of an activity/event nears (in 30, 20, 15, 10, 5 minutes), advise participants to check it out by directing them to the correct area.
- As the end of the event day nears (in 30, 20, 15, 10, 5 minutes), advise participants and volunteers, and ensure once it is officially over that participants move back onto the sidewalks.
- Under the direction of the Volunteer Coordinator, circulate throughout your assigned portion of the route.
- Ensure this portion of the route is constantly staffed with the appropriate number of volunteers for the route.
What is CiQlovía?
CiQlovía is the Albuquerque version of the global phenomenon known as ciclovía or open streets. The word refers to events where city streets are closed to cars and opened up to people on foot and on bike, outdoor exercise classes, shopping, live music and other activities.
