Volunteer Opportunities

You can become one of the many dedicated volunteers who give their time to maintain and beautify the park system. Whether you can volunteer for a few hours, a day, or several times a week, Park Management welcomes your time and talents.

Park Management volunteers help clean our parks, plant trees and flowers, maintain our bike trails, and help keep our playgrounds clean and safe for all to enjoy.

For more information on how you can become a Park Management Park Volunteer, contact Michelle Herrera (505) 857-8657 or mherrera@cabq.gov.

Adopt a Park-Streetscape

Become a partner in the upkeep of the City of Albuquerque parks and streetscapes, by adopting an area in our city. Community organizations, businesses, and private citizens may adopt a park, streetscape, and or trail. Adoption requires maintenance and beautification work such as picking up litter, weeding, or special projects as agreed upon by Park Management Division and you. The program is flexible enough to allow organizations, business or individuals to choose a comfortable level of volunteer support.

Park Management recognizes each adoption by placing a sign on the site indicating the name of the volunteer partner. Park Management asks that you adopt the area for at least two years, so that the commitment and recognition will be meaningful.

We offer plenty of rewarding volunteer opportunities for individuals, small groups, and large groups. We have all the tools; we just need your time and energy. Contact us so we can match you up with a project you will enjoy.

This program provides volunteers with excellent opportunities to gain valuable work experience, make a connection with the community, and meet new people. For more information about adopting, contact Michelle Herrera (505) 857-8657 or mherrera@cabq.gov.
