The Novato Youth Center :: Support - Nurture

Since 1976 we have been providing a full range of activities and programs for children and families in North Marin. As an organization, we are committed to nurture, protect and educate our youth, while responding to the ever-changing needs of our community.

We provide a full range of childcare and parent support services: childcare from infancy to age 14; tutoring for all ages; licensed family counseling; parenting programs; outreach to the diverse cultural families of our community, and scholarships and encouragement for families seeking self-sufficiency.

Services have expanded over the years to include school sites and the recently opened Novato Wellness Center. We serve over 2,200 youth and families annually.
