Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering is a wonderful way to give back to the community and directly help those in need.  Volunteers are an integral part of the City programs and services and without the in-kind donation of dedicated volunteer service, many activities provided to the Huntington Beach community would not be possible.   Each year, hundreds of dedicated volunteers support various City programs, services, and events with over 10,000 hours of volunteerism. The City offers a wide range of volunteer opportunities.

A home solar panel system consists of several solar panels, an inverter, a battery, a charge regulator, wiring, and support materials. Sunlight is absorbed by the solar panels and is converted to electricity by the installed system. The battery stores electricity that can be used at a later time, like cloudy days or during the evening.  Learn more about solar.
