The ABQ Young Adult Volunteer program gives young adults the opportunity to experience New Mexico’s historic convergence of Native American, Hispanic and Anglo communities. Living in Albuquerque, YAVs will experience the beauty of the high desert and Sandia Mountains juxtaposed with the high levels of poverty and daily challenges faced by many New Mexicans. Volunteers will work with a variety of local nonprofit organizations engaged in education, outreach and social justice, while also learning about and building relationships with diverse communities across New Mexico.
​ABQ YAV is a site of the Young Adult Volunteer Program of the PC (USA).
“If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time. If you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.”
