VOLUNTEER AT ARCA!

Volunteering is an opportunity to create positive change in people’s lives – including your own!

Volunteer Opportunities at ARCA

Some volunteer opportunities are not all-inclusive. Applicants will be interviewed after application has been completed.

Special Events:

ARCA has several special events throughout the year! Our events include:

  • ARCA’s Annual Geranium Celebration (usually occurs the last Saturday in April)
  • ARCA’s Annual Bowl-a-Thon (first Saturday in June)
  • ARCA’s Poinsettia Celebration (the Saturday before Thanksgiving)
  • Various seasonal holiday celebrations and events for individuals served.

If you are interested in volunteering at an event, contact us to determine availability. We also have sponsorship opportunities available for our events.

Housing Support (Maintenance and Grounds):

ARCA owns property throughout Albuquerque and our Property and Maintenance Department is responsible for the upkeep. Volunteers might assist with projects which require extra hands to get the job done such as yard maintenance, landscaping, redecorating, painting, and gardening needs.

Office Support:

Skills such as filing, alphabetizing documents, data entry, working on projects which require knowledge of computer programs such as Word, Excel, Publisher and Adobe are needed for clerical support.

ARCA Organics/La Paloma Greenhouse:

This volunteer site is located in Corrales. Tasks include planting organic fruits and vegetables and caring for seasonal plants (example: geraniums, poinsettias, etc.) in a greenhouse and outdoor setting. The plants are then harvested and sold to the community. Volunteers are needed weekdays only, 8am-2:00pm. This site is great for large groups to volunteer!
