Young people across Marin are leading powerful efforts to support mental health, connection, and community—and they need partners like you.

Marin 9 to 25 and Find Your Way bring young people and adults together across Marin County to support youth well-being, connection, and provide opportunity. Through youth-led projects focused on mental health, education support, overdose prevention, and community connection, young people build relationships, get involved in their communities, and help strengthen a sense of belonging.

This work is made possible through collaboration with the County of Marin and community partners who believe that when young people are supported and connected, the entire community benefits.

  • Find Your Way has engaged more than 500 young people (ages 14-25) across Marin County

  • In the past two years, 200 youth have participated as scholarship recipients, working alongside the County of Marin and community partners to create initiatives that support youth wellness and connection.

About Event

To celebrate this work and bring the community together around youth connection and opportunity, we invite you to join us as a sponsor of Find Your Way Through the Garden, an interactive community event taking place Thursday, May 21 from 5:30–7:30 PM at the Marin Art & Garden Center.

During the evening, guests will explore the gardens and visit youth-led interactive stations showcasing their projects. The program will also feature brief remarks from youth speakers and a Fund-a-Need “raise the paddle” moment to support scholarships, youth-led projects, and the coordination that sustains this collaborative work across Marin.

Sponsorship opportunities range from $500 to $7,500, including opportunities to sponsor interactive youth project stations during the event. See below for a sponsorship overview with additional details.

We hope you will consider joining us as a partner in supporting Marin’s youth as they find their way. I will follow up next week and would welcome the chance to connect.
