We have entered an exciting time with a great deal of growth in our communities. With this, comes an increase of needs and therefore a demand for more volunteers. Currently there are more than 60 non-profit organizations and groups who utilize volunteers in and around the Humboldt area.

Humboldt involved is a bridge for organizations and volunteers. We are here to assist groups who are in need of volunteers but are struggling to find them. We also assist individuals who are contemplating a meaningful volunteer opportunity to aqcquire what they are seeking.

Our Vision:
Enhanced quality of life through our actively involved people and community working together.

Why Volunteer?

Besides meeting new people, learning new skills, and surrounding yourself with like-minded people of the community, volunteering is a rewarding and fulfilling experience for people of all ages.

Get the Family Involved

Volunteering is a fantastic family bonding activity which helps children grow with a strong sense of community, a raised self-esteem, and an overall increased quality of life.

"The Health Benefits of Volunteering: A Review of Recent Research has found a significant connection between volunteering and good health. The report shows that volunteers have greater longevity, higher functional ability, lower rates of depression, and less incidence of heart disease."

Don't just get your children involved; ask your spouse and even your siblings or parents to help out! Research suggests that volunteering is particularly beneficial to the health of older adults.

  • An analysis of longitudinal data found that individuals over 70 who volunteered approximately 100 hours had less of a decline in self-reported health and functioning levels, experienced lower levels of depression, and had more longevity.
