Dates Volunteer is Needed:
Description of the Volunteer Opportunity:
The mission of Common Bond is to strengthen the LGBTQ community of New Mexico through programs and partnerships that serve at-risk sectors of the LGBTQ population. We accomplish this mission through three programs: The Emergency Project, which provides financial assistance to people living with HIV/AIDS; the SAGE program, whose goals are to educate the general public, service providers, and the LGBTQ community about the unique challenges facing older LGBT adults; and the U-21 program, which provides a safe, sober environment where LGBTQ people can be their authentic selves. For these programs to be effective and serve their clients well, Common Bond New Mexico Foundation must meet all of its legal requirements and fundraising goals. To do that, we need hardworking volunteers who are passionate about helping others to provide guidance and direction by serving on our board or directors.
Skills Needed:
Human Resources/Leadership Development
Legal/Risk Management
Who Will Be Impacted Through This Project:
We are currently focused on serving three specific areas of at-risk members of our community: U-21 program provides a safe, sober environment where LGBTQ youth can be their authentic selves; Emergency Project serves people living with HIV/AIDS in dire financial need; SAGE Albuquerque serves elder members of the LGBTQ community—many of whom may not have family or a social network to rely on.
