MarinKids is a policy and advocacy nonprofit based in Marin County, California, focused on placing children’s needs at the forefront of public policy. The organization collaborates with community stakeholders to inform and educate residents and provide tools for advocating solutions that protect and support the health, education, and well-being of children and youth aged 0-18 in Marin County. Operating within the public policy sector, MarinKids responds to concerns about ongoing reductions in critical programs and funding by promoting policies that improve access to health care, early education, and other essential services for Marin’s younger population. Founded in November of the previous year by a broad coalition of community leaders from business, education, health, social services, non-profits, and philanthropic groups, the group emphasizes data-informed advocacy to address local gaps in child well-being. The organization pursues outreach to the local community to advance policies and practices that support healthier, nurtured, and better-educated children.
