“Our mission is to empower youth, adults and families in our diverse community to achieve well-being, growth and success, and we envision a strong community with opportunities for all. Our whole family approach ensures individuals and families have access to comprehensive, trauma informed support designed to foster resiliencyand strengthen community. Our pathways to programs ensure that participants will be assessed for all of our programs and services, no matter which door they enter through. In 2022-23, our team of 579 people (67 staff and 512 volunteers) delivered services to 10,280 participants included children, adults, families, aging adults, immigrants, single parents, service workers and others. Our services are designed to help correct Marin Countys extreme disparities in health and wealth. 95% of those we serve are members of low-income households, and 89% are people of color (Latine 80%; African American/Black 3%; Asian/PI 2%, Multi-Racial/Other 4%; White 11%). Since the in-need population is not concentrated in one area, we implemented outreach and service strategies throughout North and West Marin. Our programs were offered on-site at our two centers, 680 Wilson Ave and 1907 Novato Blvd; on Novato Unified School District campuses; at the Novato Teen Clinic (a partnership with Marin Community Clinics); now in West Marin; and remotely. As the anchor human services nonprofit serving North Marin, we have experienced a dramatic increase in demand for services by the Latine and communities of color, with majority from extremely and very low-income households.”
