A city-wide volunteer movement...powered by our most valuable resource...YOU!
Empower Eureka!
Our Community,
Our Responsibility.
Empower Eureka is a program designed for community members who desire to improve and enrich the quality of life in Eureka. Residents are matched with meaningful volunteer experiences that create positive change in practical ways.
Empower Eureka gives you eight volunteer opportunities to take direct action to address the causes that matter the most to you, in the manner best suited to what you can do. Some of us have a little extra time on our hands and are able to show up and volunteer. Others may have opinions that can improve our city but can only spare an hour or two to attend a council, commission or board meeting. For others a simple monetary or supply donation is how we can give back.
We all want to help make our city the best it can be and feel good about our contribution. The season for volunteering is now...influence Eureka's future and volunteer with Empower Eureka in a way that works best for YOU!

"One of my favorite aspects of volunteering is socializing and getting to know my neighborhood. Sharing the park with others through my photography has brought other benefits too: I got three of my best job offers solely through volunteering."

Volunteers In Action!
"I volunteer to make things better here. Fundraising and committee meetings don't work as well for me as working directly with a trained team alongside professionals. That's my idea of volunteering, and don't wait until you retire!”
