The Mayor Supports MOVE
Mayor Martin J. Chávez firmly believes that volunteering is a necessary part of our lives. It is not only a nice thing to do, but it is critical to the health and compassion of a community. The cost of addressing our community's social concerns without volunteers would be immeasurable.
Please give serious consideration on how you can help to make a difference in our community. Quality of life in Albuquerque will be enhanced through your selfless efforts.
Let’s all get "on the MOVE!"
MOVE Details
The Mayor’s Office of Volunteerism and Engagement (MOVE) was established by Mayor Martin J. Chávez in 2005.
Groups that benefit from MOVE include nonprofit agencies and civic organizations. Help is provided for the arts, education, healthcare, homeless, children and families, seniors, the environment, and animals.
Move also provides volunteers in programs operated by the City of Albuquerque, such as parks, libraries, museums, senior centers and animal care centers.
The benefit of our City's volunteers is immeasurable. The estimated economic impact of volunteering in Albuquerque was at least $36 million in 2006.
