About the Office of Civic Engagement
Who We Are
The Office of Civic Engagement is staffed by Nicholas Vottero and Mariah Harrison. Both have spent a majority of their professional lives in Albuquerque, and are intimately familiar with the unique nature of organizing in our diverse community. The Office of Civic Engagement is also staffed with several AmeriCorps VISTA members whose mission is to fight poverty and build capacity citywide.
What We Do

Mission
To increase civic participation of Albuquerque residents by creating and promoting volunteer opportunities, making city government more accessible, and empowering people to contribute to the decision making that affects their lives.
Vision
Working together we can create a safe, inclusive, innovative city that works for all.
