Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma-Marin

What Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma-Marin does

Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma-Marin is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit youth development organization serving more than 11,000 youth annually across Sonoma and Marin counties in Northern California. The organization operates 42 club locations in 12 communities and employs nearly 400 team members, providing after-school, full-day, summer, and virtual programming focused on academic success, healthy lifestyles, and character/leadership development for local youth.

Core programs include traditional after-school care, full-day programming (introduced August 2020 in response to COVID-19 childcare needs), a Virtual Club digital channel (launched April 2020), summer camps, and workforce development/career exploration initiatives supported by corporate partners such as Bank of America and Comerica. Programming is delivered through physical clubhouses and digital channels, with deliberate integration with local school districts and community partners to reach underserved youth.

The revenue model is diversified across individual donations, corporate sponsorships (including Bank of America, Comerica, Jackson Family Wines, and other wineries/businesses), foundation grants, parent-paid membership and program fees, and special-event fundraising. Capital expansion is funded separately through dedicated capital campaigns, with two active build-outs — the Healdsburg Clubhouse and the Roseland complex — extending physical capacity. The organization is a local affiliate of Boys & Girls Clubs of America, leveraging the national brand while operating autonomously as a community-embedded nonprofit.
