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.

Through its grants to Catholic Charities, the Schulz Celebrity Golf Classic is one of the largest contributors to ending family homelessness in Sonoma County. Because of gifts like these, Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Santa Rosa can provide lifesaving shelter and housing services that nourish both children and their parents.

Opening our doors in January 2023, Caritas Center has been able to serve over 1,600 people in just the first six months of operations, with a 49% increase in the number of children served. With more rooms for families and comprehensive, wrap-around services and support in one location, Catholic Charities' Caritas Center has been able to guide families into housing in just half the time, doubling the number of people our team can transition to stable housing each year.

Our experience demonstrates that if we nurture participants’ health, spirits, and minds, we can equip them to thrive in housing and never return to homelessness. As one of our brave children said, “Please tell anyone who gives to Catholic Charities that “I say THANK YOU!”

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.
