Become a Member of Redwood Coast Village

Redwood Coast Village (RCV) membership is open to residents of Humboldt County, California aged 50 and above who need just a little help to stay in their own homes.  We welcome members from throughout our diverse community, and also seek volunteers of all ages to assist them from every race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and cultural group that makes up our diverse community.  We are looking for members, and local volunteers to serve them, from communities throughout the county.  Please note, areas of service will need to have a good balance of volunteers and members.

Currently we are seeking members and volunteers in these communities:
