With Julie Stewart, OLLI Coordinator & Humboldt Enthusiast
What makes Humboldt County California’s best kept secret? For one longtime transplant, it’s the mix of small surprises, strong community, and places with that special something. This personal, opinionated guide shares local gems and includes a take-home “Humboldt Bucket List.” No secret river spots or off-grid camps will be shared -- for everyone’s safety, including the presenter’s tires.

Register by 12 p.m., October 21.
Julie Stewart
Julie Stewart has called Arcata home since 2009, when she moved from the Bay Area to attend Humboldt State University (now Cal Poly Humboldt). Like many, she came for school and stayed for the outdoor lifestyle and strong sense of community.
Her journey in education began after earning her B.S. from Humboldt in 2013, when she worked as an environmental educator at outdoor science schools across California. Since then, Julie has helped develop a variety of local educational programs, including outdoor experiences with Center Activities and afterschool learning opportunities at the Sequoia Park Zoo.
Most recently, she taught middle school science in Eureka before transitioning to a role in the Office of the Provost at Cal Poly Humboldt, where she continued supporting educational initiatives across campus. She is now pursuing her master’s degree in education, with plans to graduate in December 2025.
In her new role with OLLI, Julie is eager to support both members and instructors while working to expand access to OLLI programs for a broader range of community members. She brings a passion for strengthening programs and supporting lifelong learners to the thriving educational community at OLLI.
