Potential Collaboration Opportunities
-
Little Globe
Little Globe is a Santa Fe community storytelling arts organization whose public materials emphasize storytelling education, mentorship, partnerships with communities and organizations, and platforms for community voices. Its Community Storytellers training, Newcomers Program, and Convivio Southside pop-up civic-center work make it a strong arts-and-culture lead for BWB New Mexico projects that combine creativity, civic participation, and local relationship-building.
- Co-host a participatory story-gathering or short-film workshop around neighborhood resilience, mutual aid, or disaster-preparedness experiences.
- Pair BWB volunteers with Little Globe facilitators for a temporary civic pop-up that combines art, listening, resource-sharing, and volunteer recruitment.
-
Roadrunner Food Bank of New Mexico
Roadrunner Food Bank supplies food to hundreds of organizations throughout New Mexico, lists Albuquerque and Las Cruces locations, and has clear pathways for food drives, warehouse volunteers, food distribution volunteers, and disaster relief programming. This fits BWB New Mexico's statewide civic-project scope and offers concrete channels for volunteer mobilization, food logistics, and emergency food support.
- Organize Burner volunteer teams for warehouse shifts, mobile distribution support, or food-and-fund drives.
- Coordinate with Roadrunner's disaster relief or member-agency network to identify where BWB can help with surge logistics during emergencies.
-
Reunity Resources
Reunity Resources describes itself as creating community-scale solutions for environmental resiliency and local food sovereignty through closed-loop systems, outdoor education, community engagement, local food systems advocacy, compost programs, a farm, a soil yard, community fridge work, education, and volunteer opportunities. This is closely aligned with BWB-style resilience, reuse, food-system, and neighborhood sustainability projects in Santa Fe.
- Partner on compost drop-off education, volunteer farm/soil-yard days, or community fridge support.
- Co-design a resilience workshop that connects food waste reduction, soil building, local food sovereignty, and neighborhood preparedness.
-
Santa Fe Community Foundation
Santa Fe Community Foundation is a major northern New Mexico community philanthropy institution that funds and collaborates with local nonprofits, supports donors and nonprofits, maintains hundreds of charitable funds, and offers open grants and a nonprofit learning hub. It could be a useful relationship for BWB New Mexico projects that need local funding context, nonprofit partners, fiscal infrastructure referrals, or credibility with northern New Mexico institutions.
- Ask for guidance on small-grant fit, donor-advised fund alignment, or nonprofit partners for a specific BWB civic project.
- Use the Foundation's nonprofit learning and bulletin ecosystem to identify vetted local partners for resilience, food access, arts, or youth projects.
-
Somos Un Pueblo Unido
Somos Un Pueblo Unido is identified in credible reporting as an economic-justice organization involved in a statewide New Mexico guaranteed-income pilot for mixed-status immigrant households, with its executive director quoted on immigrant families' exclusion from public benefits. While not a trade union, it is a credible worker/immigrant economic-justice lead for BWB New Mexico projects involving worker-resource events, cash-assistance navigation, transportation/childcare barriers, or community support for immigrant workers.
- Invite guidance on worker-centered mutual-aid or resource-navigation events that avoid duplicating existing immigrant community infrastructure.
- Coordinate volunteer support around material needs identified by worker and immigrant household networks, subject to Somos' consent and privacy practices.
-
Three Sisters Kitchen
Three Sisters Kitchen is a nonprofit community food space in downtown Albuquerque that combines affordable locally produced food, a local foods shop, a commercial test kitchen, food-business training, community classes, and programming around food traditions. It could support BWB New Mexico projects that need a trusted food-space partner, local-food education, entrepreneur support, community classroom programming, or culturally grounded food access work.
- Co-host a community cooking, food-resilience, or resource-fair event that connects volunteers with local food producers and service providers.
- Support event logistics, volunteer recruitment, or storytelling around the Food Business Training Program and local food economy.
-
City of Albuquerque Office of Emergency Management
Albuquerque's Office of Emergency Management plans for all hazards, works to reduce threats, prepares residents and organizations to respond and recover, and points volunteer activity toward Community Emergency Response Team training. This is a practical public-agency lead for BWB New Mexico preparedness workshops, volunteer training, multilingual preparedness-resource distribution, and coordination during local emergencies.
- Encourage BWB volunteers to complete CERT training and then organize neighborhood preparedness or disaster-kit workshops.
- Coordinate a public resilience event that shares official preparedness resources while BWB handles volunteer hospitality, artful engagement, or supply sorting.
-
FUSE Makerspace
FUSE Makerspace is an Albuquerque community makerspace powered by CNM Ingenuity and partnered with Central New Mexico Community College. Its public materials describe wood and metal shops, CNC, laser cutting, 3D printers, screen printing, digital design tools, open workshops, group visits, equipment access, and inclusive hands-on learning, making it a strong fit for BWB build days, repair/prototyping sessions, and volunteer skill-building.
- Organize BWB volunteer cohorts for safety-oriented workshops before public-space builds, shade-structure prototypes, repair events, or art-infrastructure projects.
- Use group visits or equipment access to prototype civic project materials with appropriate training and supervision.
-
New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness
New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness works with more than 80 agencies and partner providers around the state and supports services, housing options, resources, funding, advocacy, HMIS/data, Continuum of Care funding, coordinated entry, youth homelessness work, and member-agency technical assistance. This statewide network could help BWB New Mexico avoid duplicating services and identify where volunteer support is actually useful for homelessness-related projects.
- Request guidance on member agencies that need volunteer support for shelter, outreach, youth homelessness, or material-donation sorting.
- Use coalition data and member-agency channels to design a focused BWB project around a verified service gap.
-
City of Albuquerque Office of Neighborhood Coordination
Albuquerque's Office of Neighborhood Coordination provides resources for neighborhood associations, neighborhood association websites, a meetings calendar, a weekly neighborhood eNews, neighborhood engagement processes, and neighborhood sign/art programs. It is not itself a resident group, but it is a credible gateway for identifying resident leaders and neighborhood priorities before BWB volunteers propose public-space or resilience projects.
- Use the neighborhood association calendar and contact resources to hold listening sessions before choosing a BWB public-space, cleanup, or preparedness project.
- Partner with recognized neighborhood associations on small art, signage, cleanup, or traffic-calming support projects where residents define the priorities.
-
Central New Mexico Community College
Central New Mexico Community College is New Mexico's largest community college and publicly describes degree, certificate, job-training, workforce/community, employer services, internship, customized training, library, and location resources. CNM Ingenuity also advertises space licensing at CNM locations and training programs in areas such as advanced manufacturing, construction/trades/utilities, culinary, technology, public safety, and FUSE Makerspace. This makes CNM a practical educational-institution lead for service learning, workforce-aligned volunteer training, and venue exploration.
- Explore CNM or CNM Ingenuity space use for preparedness workshops, repair/build trainings, or community resource events.
- Connect BWB projects with workforce/community programs where students can practice civic skills through supervised, non-extractive service learning.
