Description

The Feline Right at Home Program is designed to help shy, fearful, under-socialized, or behaviorally stressed cats become more comfortable with people and better prepared for adoption. Volunteers in this specialized role receive training in feline behavior modification (bmod) techniques and low-stress handling strategies used in shelter environments. Participants learn how to read feline body language, recognize stress signals, build trust through choice-based interactions, use positive reinforcement and enrichment tools, and apply confidence-building exercises tailored to each cat’s needs. Volunteers also learn techniques for reducing fear, encouraging engagement, and creating positive associations with human interaction. Through calm, consistent sessions, volunteers play a critical role in improving cats’ emotional wellbeing, quality of life, and adoptability while documenting behavioral progress and sharing observations with staff.

To be able to respond to this opportunity you should have taken the Cat Behavior Training online and have had a Cat Shadowing session with a Senior Volunteer - and remember you have to upload your certificates obtained by the end of trainings as qualifications.

The final location of camp is kept private for safety reasons until potential volunteers have been background checked/screened. For planning/consideration purposes, it will be taking place near I-40 and Wyoming.

Volunteers that respond to the need here on ABQ One will be sent a follow-up link with our volunteer screening form, which then follows to a BG check for those over 18. We will also provide a sign-up specific to roles and days after the initial screening application/BG check.

Join us any Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday from 9:00am- 5:00pm for a two-hour shift to help support unhoused and low-income pets & their people. We will be preparing pet food for direct street outreach, our community collaborative program and Pet Pantry events. This involves repackaging Cat & Dog food into gallon or quart baggies and labeling them. Additionally, you can also elect to help us inventory and sort donations of pet supplies.

On the third Thursday of each month, we meet to prepare for our pet food and supply distribution that occurs the following day at The Storehouse, NM. Join us at our warehouse facility to package pet food & treats and organize supplies for distribution the following day. 

On the third Friday of every month, NM Street Pet Project, in partnership with The Storehouse, NM, provides a free Pet Pantry for unhoused and low income pets. Join us to help distribute pet food and supplies to those in need. This is a great opportunity to connect with and support the community. Pet Pantry officially runs from 9:00am-12:00pm. Please plan to arrive by 8:30am. Sometimes the Pet Pantry runs a little longer (until 1:00 - 1:30pm) as we serve the folks who checked in at 12:00. We can accommodate an early departure, if needed. 

The TLCc needs volunteer tutors to meet with students on a weekly basis. Volunteer tutors act as one-on-one mentors in English as a Second Language, Basic Literacy, Math, and Sciences.

Teen volunteers are a vital part of our summer programming. Volunteers help with all types of work, from signing up participants, to stamping Summer Reading Logs, and handing out weekly prizes. They may also be asked to help with the day-to-day business of the library, as well as contributing their own special skills on an as-needed basis. Volunteers should be prepared to attend a mandatory orientation and to work a minimum of one shift per week for the duration of the library’s Summer Reading Program which runs from May 30th through July 26th.

Special events are where our volunteers will really shine. Volunteers may help with offering and/or assisting during arts & crafts or story time programs, helping with setting up and tearing down, and with generating publicity by sharing information about our events. Teen volunteers play an important role at the Library during the busy summer schedule.  

All volunteers must be able to attend an orientation session in order to be considered for the SRP volunteer program. If you cannot attend the orientation date, please contact the volunteer coordinator at (505)768-5136.

City policy requires background checks for anyone aged 13+ before being considered to volunteer for the Library. There is no cost to the applicant. Background checks must clear before volunteers attend orientation in order to volunteer during the program.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the Albuquerque Public Library!
We are excited to work with you!

The Backdrop
The City of Albuquerque is spending enormous resources pushing human suffering from block to
block in a cruel destabilizing cycle that destroys trust, medications, survival gear, and pathways
to healing. “Learn the Streets” is a direct counter to those “sweeps”; instead of treating the
unhoused as a problem to be moved out of sight out of mind, we are partnering with our
unhoused neighbors to design the housing, behavioral health, and support systems that would
actually end homelessness in Albuquerque humanely and sustainably.
What We’re Doing
On Saturday, June 20th, 2026, we’re mobilizing a dozen local organizations and 50-75 volunteers
across 6-8 encampment sites from 9am-1pm to distribute care packages and food, build
relationships through conversation, and listen to what people actually need, asking simple human
questions like “What’s hardest right now?” “What’s worked/not worked?” and ”What would
actually help?” Our goal is not one-time outreach; it’s relationship, reconnection, and long term
follow through. After the outreach we’ll invite all those we encounter to each of those 6-8 sites to
eat together and to join in facilitated conversation. Then on Saturday, June 27th volunteers will
gather back together 11am-1pm to turn what we learned into actionable community and policy
proposals.

Volunteers Needed:
• 50-75 volunteers
• Site leads and note takers
• June 20 and June 27 participation

Donations Needed:
• 500 Care packages
• Food for 6-8 sites
• 10-15 tables, 100-150 chairs
• $5k-7k for stipends supporting lived-
experience site leaders

VOLUNTEER AT THE S.A.F.E. House THRIFT STORE

Looking for a meaningful way to give back to your community? Join our amazing volunteer team at the S.A.F.E. House Thrift Store. Every shift helps support survivors of domestic violence right here in our community.

Volunteers help with:
• Sorting donations
• Stocking shelves
• Assisting customers
• Organizing merchandise
• Keeping the store clean and welcoming
• Accepting and unloading donations

Volunteer Schedule:
Monday through Friday
10:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Flexible Shift Options:
• 10 AM to 2 PM
• 1 PM to 5 PM
• 10 AM to 5 PM

Volunteer opportunities available for:
• Once a week
• Multiple days a week
• Short-term or long-term

Please feel free to include your availability in the comment box when registering.

What We’re Looking For:
We are seeking volunteers who are respectful, dependable, team-oriented, and passionate about helping others. Volunteers should be comfortable working in a retail environment and assisting with both indoor and outdoor tasks.

Physical Requirements May Include:
• Standing, walking, bending, lifting, and organizing
• Lifting or moving up to 50 lbs
• Indoor and outdoor cleaning and donation support

Please allow 3 to 5 business days for an email response after registering. This allows time for scheduling coordination and arranging training for your first shift. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Together, we can make a difference, one donation, one customer, and one act of kindness at a time.

This opportunity is to support the animals as they come out of sedation after surgery. Having a human there watching over them when they feel insecure can make the process much calmer instead of panicked or stressful.  You must be familiar with handling cats and dogs, be able to lift at least 20lbs alone and more with help, and be able to bend and kneel frequently. You will shadow with one of the senior volunteers for a surgery recovery session before being able to volunteer on your own. To set up the shadow session, email awdvolunteer@cabq.gov.

Thank you for considering sharing your time and expertise at the Genealogy Center on the second floor of the Main Library in Albuquerque!

We are looking for experienced genealogists who have spent at least two years conducting genealogical research and are proficient in using Ancestry.com and FamilySearch.org.  Computer skills are a must.  You should be a patient and pleasant teacher.  We emphasize showing people how to conduct family research according to established standards rather than doing the research for them.

If this sounds like a volunteer opportunity you would enjoy please:

1.  Complete the L2 w/o MVD background check on your Volunteer Profile under Qualifications or when you select Respond below.

2.  Once your background check has been approved (you will receive an email verifying this), please respond for a time to come in for a half hour interview to discuss the opportunity and to see if it would be a good fit for you and the Library. 

3.  Please contact librarygenealogy@cabq.gov or (505)768-5131 BEFORE you come in for the interview.   Interviews are available on Thursday mornings at 10:30, but if that time does not work for you we can schedule another time.

Thank you for your interest in the Genealogy Center Volunteer opportunity!

Your military service may be complete, but your impact does not end. Through your presence, compassion, and lived experience, you can bring comfort during one of life’s most sacred transitions.

Your service continues—through kindness, connection, and honoring those who have served.

If you feel called to support fellow veterans in their final chapter, we invite you to join our dedicated team of Gentiva Hospice volunteers.

Together, we can ensure that those who bravely served receive the respect, companionship, and peace they deserve.

“Answering the Final Call with Strength and Compassion.”
