About ¡EngageVolunteer!
I've established this site as a way of giving back to this incredible place we all call home. There's such a desperate need for our help on so many fronts in Santa Fe. My goal is to ignite your imagination and motivate you to volunteer for an organization, program or school that needs you.
This site is a personal project and not intended to be inclusive of the oh! so many volunteer needs in Santa Fe. Listed here will be just a few opportunities with which I have personal experience or that have been recommended to me by people who understand and share my objectives. Perhaps one (or more!) of the listings will interest you as well. If nothing strikes your fancy, please satisfy your Soul and your Creativity by finding something that does.
Think about it! And, thank you!
