Friends Volunteer Board

The Friends is a 501(c)(3) and relies on the contributions of all our members for success.

We have 12 Board members who volunteer to serve for either a 2 or 3 year term.

There are many volunteer opportunities for Friends members to contribute time and talent to help support, conserve and restore the historical assets of Coronado and Jemez Historic Sites for future generations.

One way is through service on our Board. Board Members share common goals and interests to manage and promote actions that benefit the Friends’ mission and increase support for the Sites. We are fortunate to have many talented people in our community interested in the success of our two sites. Some have had a lifetime of leadership skills to help manage and direct the activities of the Friends.

Board meetings are held monthly on the first Tuesday at the Bernalillo Public Library from 9:30 to Noon. The Board holds an annual meeting in March, which includes a business session followed by election of officers, and finishes with a social session to chat, have fun, and catch up.

A Message from the Board President

Greetings Friends,

There are numerous benefits to being a Friend, and finding new friends among other like-minded people is at the top of that list.

Both sites benefit from our funding exclusive programming like summer Star Parties, baking demos in the hornos,

summer camps, and the beautiful winter “Lights of Gisewa and Kuaua." The rangers train our volunteers to become knowledgeable docents who give tours to visitors at both sites, and volunteers run the excellent gift shops featuring New Mexican native art and jewelry.

Making new friends among the Friends is easy, just let us know what you enjoy doing and we will match our programs with your unique talents.
