“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 resiliency and 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 2024-25, our team of 412 people (73 staff and 339 volunteers) delivered services to 13,765 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. North Marin Community Services provides life-changing, comprehensive services to 13,765 under-resourced youth, adults, and families annually. The whole family approach ensures individuals and families have access to comprehensive, trauma-informed support designed to foster resiliency and strengthen community. Our pathways to programs approach ensures participants will be assessed for all programs and services, no matter which door they enter through. Given the vast geographic spread of under-resourced communities, our programs are therefore available in the community and through partnerships countywide, including: at our two Novato Centers (680 Wilson Ave, 1907 Novato Blvd); on Novato Unified, Shoreline United and Lagunitas School District campuses; at the Novato Teen Clinic (a partnership with Marin Community Clinics); and remotely.”
