Volunteer and Team Building Opportunities

Our services depend on the time and expertise of our community to ensure that our children and youth experiencing homelessness or involved with a child welfare agency have the support and resources to remain connected to their schools and succeed.

Are you interested in becoming a volunteer for or holding a team building event with Albuquerque Public Schools McKinney-Vento and Foster Care? Message Volunteer & Team Building to learn more or schedule your volunteer time.

We send our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the many wonderful, generous, caring volunteers who help to ensure our students receive services that ensure they have the opportunity for success.

Knowing that there are community members who care means our children and youth experiencing instability and uncertainty can connect with their schools.

Local businesses, religious organizations, non-profits, civic organizations, school and government entities volunteer in countless ways.

Food and hygiene product drives, book and school supply drives are held throughout the year. These drives are indispensable as they allow children and youth to receive the basic items that keep them motivated and in school.

By supplying hygiene products, a weekly snack pack, or that much-needed baseball glove so participation in school sports can happen, children and youth continue attending or return to school.

Volunteers help foster positive, stable relationships with children, youth, and their families.

We couldn’t do this work without our volunteers. Thank you!
