LOCAL VOICES THROUGH COMMUNITY MEDIA
Access Humboldt is a non-profit PEG community media organization serving the residents of Humboldt County since 2006
A PEG Media Center is a community hub that empowers individuals to create and share media content. This acronym stands for Public, Educational, and Governmental, reflecting its accessibility, learning opportunities, and often government-supported nature. At a PEG Media Center, you can produce your own shows, learn new skills like video editing and audio production, access professional equipment, collaborate with other creators, and share your stories with a local audience. It's a place where creativity thrives and community voices are amplified.
Your support ensures the continuation of diverse programming, educational initiatives, and independent journalism. By contributing, you directly impact the vibrant media landscape of Humboldt County, promoting informed citizenry and strengthening our community.

Access Humboldt is now in building 6. Notice three paths that will lead you from parking lot C, D or E, to the front of the building. Parking passes available upon requests and handicap parking available in front of the building.
Access Humboldt is grateful for the wonderful partnership we have with College of the Redwoods and consider it a privilege to serve the community at our location on campus. We acknowledge that College of the Redwoods is located on the unceded territory of the Wiyot, Hupa, Karuk, Mattole, Tolowa, Wailaki, and Yurok people where they have resided from time immemorial. We encourage all to gain a deeper understanding of their history and thriving culture. We are genuinely committed to developing trusting, reciprocal, and long lasting partnerships with the Wiyot people as well as all of our neighboring tribes, so that all of our neighbors' voices are lifted and represented with equity and inclusion.
The Redwoods Listening Post (RLP)
The Redwoods Listening Post was formed in 2020 as an Internews-affiliated Listening Post project to cover the pandemic. Access Humboldt implemented THE RLP to equip and amplify the voices of Humboldt County's disenfranchised communities, inspired by the work done in our Eureka Information Ecosystem Assessment. Since 2022, THE RLP transitioned its areas of concentration to focus on the interests of Black, Latinx, Asian, local Tribal communities, and 2S/LGBTQIA+ residents. We emphasize these communities and their stories, because we want to build diverse local media collaborations to support local news and information efforts.
