Come celebrate with us at Earth Day Marin on Sunday, April 23, from 1 to 5 p.m., at the Mill Valley Community Center in Marin County

Join our creative activities, see inspiring art, hear great music, play fun games, and enjoy good food and exhibits about climate action, in a beautiful outdoor setting. We expect this to be Marin’s largest Earth Day event!

Earth Day Marin is a free, family-friendly festival, where you can connect with neighbors and learn about climate actions we can take in our own lives, such as: use clean energy, eat healthy food, ride electric vehicles, electrify your home, live lightly and build resilient communities.

Earth Day Marin is organized by Green Change and Mill Valley Recreation, with generous support from Bay Area Air Quality Management District, City of Mill Valley, County of Marin, Marin Community Foundation, Outdoor Art Club, Rex Foundation – and over 60 partners from across Marin and the Bay Area (see their logos below).

Join the fun and come celebrate Earth Day with family, friends and neighbors!

Queer LifeSpace, a mental health nonprofit in the Castro neighborhood of San Francisco, is launching a new program called Outlandish! that aims to bring LGBTQIA+ youth out into nature for day-long hikes and other activities. The participants, accompanied by qualified adults, will be immersed in the natural world, where they can learn about themselves and the complex ecosystems around them.

We serve youth ages 13-18, and our trips are free to a low-cost sliding scale for our adventures to be accessible for everyone!

The first trip is this April 22, Earth Day, to the Marin Headlands to hang out with a Park Ranger and explore coastal ecology. This trip is for 13-15-year-olds.

The second trip is on May 13 to the Muir Woods for 16-18-year-olds to participate in their Community Science Program and hike through the forest.

Every year, from Cloverdale to Corte Madera, over 3,500 children have open cases in the dependency system and dozens of families are impacted by trauma associated with abuse and neglect.

The Marin Foster Care Association's 5th Annual Dance-a-thon, raises awareness for two very important programs necessary to support Marin, Sonoma and Solano County’s Foster Youth.

Our Opportunity Project & Say Yes Fund make it possible for the MFCA to fund services for a particular foster child's physical, mental or emotional well-being as well as offset or cover the cost of obstacles to saying “Yes” to a foster child.

This dance party is a great way to teach our young children all about volunteering, showing up for their friends in need and doing it by having a fun time.
