Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma-Marin serves 7,500 kids at 40 Clubs in Sonoma & Marin counties. We open our doors with a mission to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential.

Packed to the gills with fun from the very first day, we focus on providing life-changing programs for those children who cannot afford high-quality child care, summer camps and enrichment programs. This year, we will provide over 470,000 hours of academic support after school and 620,000 hours of high-quality, high-impact summer and school year enrichment programming to kids and teens in our communities. We will serve more than 350,000 healthy meals and snacks, and we will provide over 5,000 field trip opportunities.

With your help, we can do WHATEVER IT TAKES to build great futures!

Since opening in 2008, Pediatric Dental Initiative (PDI) has treated upwards of 30,000 underserved, low income, and special needs children from across Northern California as well as providing preventive education for 80,000 families and children.

PDI Surgery Center provides life changing dental treatment under general anesthesia for children suffering from extensive tooth decay, a largely preventable, yet most common chronic disease of children that negatively impacts their speech, nutritional intake, growth, and social development.

PDI pairs treatment with family oral health education, advising on oral care techniques and nutritional changes to improve well-being outcomes in dental and general healthcare. Part of our mission is to reach parents and children alike with the message that preventive dental care, consistent brushing, eating healthy foods, and drinking water instead of juices or soda aids everyone in happier, healthy lives.

The Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center opened in 2002 to fulfill its mission of preserving, displaying, and interpreting the art of Charles M. Schulz, the creator of Peanuts. Central to this mission is providing meaningful, hands-on educational experiences for all ages in art, cartooning, and storytelling.

The Museum’s youth education program is committed to offering free and affordable programs and provides scholarships to over 6,800 people in low-income schools and communities every year. Located in Santa Rosa, California—where Schulz lived and worked for over 30 years—the Schulz Museum strives to offer experiences that make every child feel as special as the Peanuts gang, and that means being accessible and inclusive to people of all abilities, backgrounds, and income levels.

Sonoma Academy delivers a dynamic and transformative educational experience that prepares our students to live purposeful lives and to be the leaders and changemakers of tomorrow. We create a joyful and welcoming learning environment and a fun school culture that supports academic excellence, risk-taking, social-emotional development, and the space for teenagers to be themselves.

“Show me a 3rd Grade Reader; and I’ll show you a High School Graduate.”

Read On, Sonoma! gives 2nd through 6th Graders the tools to dream big, break cycles of family hardship, and graduate from high school. “RoS” is a literacy program that feels more like a game; children earn field trips, soccer balls, clothing, Chromebooks and even cash scholarships simply by reading books of their own choice. Founded in 2020 by Guy Fieri and Lawrence Amaturo, “RoS Kids” are now reading three times as many books as their peers, on average forty-two books per child! Last year’s 1,418 children read 59,480 books equaling 539,000,000 words! As little as $160 per child funds all this progress in our Sonoma County schools. Join us!

Experiences are our greatest teachers. First Tee believes in developing the ones that are just as fun as they are meaningful, where kids feel excited to grow, safe to fail, and better equipped for whatever comes their way next.

Through our golf-based personal growth programs, we see kids build life and leadership skills that empower them in all areas of life, including school, friendships and eventually careers.
