All of us have the same 24-hours in a day, and as a member of this community, you have the power to choose to spend that time being frustrated about the challenges this community faces, or you can take action! So maybe you are not an elected official and perhaps you are also not a philanthropist that is capable of a monetary donation; but you still have something extraordinarily valuable to offer this community…your time! Throughout this website there are opportunities for you to dedicate your valuable time, to make an impact on the causes that mean the most to you. Simply find a cause that you are interested in contributing to and submit a volunteer interest form. Whether it's physical labor, helping create that community garden you've always wanted to see, or coaching our community's youth; if you want to make an impact, all you have to do is set aside a little time. Look for the Clock icon to find out more about volunteer opportunities.

You have a Voice!  As a resident of Eureka, you are directly impacted by the decisions made about this community; from big issues like safety and public ordinances, to issues as simple as a new playground structure at the park down the street. The truth is, you are going to be impacted regardless if you have an opinion or not. Who better to represent this community’s needs than you---a member of this community!

If you see something you don’t like, or have an opinion on how to make things better; speak up or take direct action by serving on a Board or Commission!

We understand, you may not have extra money to spend.  So when it comes time to invest those hard earned dollars, you have to choose wisely. Empower Eureka is excited to present several opportunities that offer a guaranteed return on your financial investment.

How could we possibly offer a guaranteed return you ask? Simple, because you won’t be making an investment in a product, you’ll be making an investment in our community. Opportunities include sponsoring an underprivileged child to attend summer camp or beautifying a neighborhood park.  Regardless of what cause tugs on your heart strings, know that it will be an investment in your community. Look for the Invest icon throughout the website, to learn more about how you can make a positive impact.
