Our Story
Marin County
MHYP builds on more than 15 years of community-led prevention in Marin. What began as a local coalition in the Twin Cities and Ross Valley became an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2020. Since then, we have grown from serving a handful of communities to a countywide coalition serving youth and families in every part of Marin. Our growth reflects the trust of our partners and a shared belief that prevention works.
