Eureka Teens – Take a Quick Survey

If you’re between the ages of 13 and 19 and live in or attend school in the greater Eureka area, we need your input.

The Eureka Youth Council is conducting an anonymous survey to collect information on your economic, environmental and social concerns; health and well-being, extracurricular and recreational needs and more. The information will help the City better understand how you live, learn, work, and play, and what could be improved or implemented to give you a higher quality of life in Eureka.

Eureka Youth Council is a unique program designed to give Eureka teens the opportunity to learn about local city government while working on projects that can have a positive impact on the community. Four members ages 14-18 will be chosen for Youth Council.

Through this program selected members will engage with local leaders and feel empowered while at the same time evolving their critical thinking skills and developing the civic leadership skills needed to represent their generation.

The Youth Council term will start on January 24, 2022 and will last through an estimated date of December 6, 2022. During this time Youth Council will take part in three major projects of their choosing, with the purpose of addressing a community cause or concern. Youth Council will then have the honor of presenting their project efforts to the Eureka City Council at a scheduled monthly meeting.

Members are expected to commit to a total of three meetings per month, taking place on Mondays from 4:30 – 6:30 pm at the Adorni Center or City Hall. Members may also have up to five hours per month in project homework or project-related activities.
