About Us

Northern Marin Collective is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting mothers in Marin so that families can thrive. Serving Northern Marin—especially Novato and San Rafael—we create community, connection, and support through events, resources, and meaningful service.

​

Our membership is made up of local mothers who come together to build each other up, strengthen families, and make a positive impact across Marin. Through collaboration, compassion, and shared purpose, we work to create a supportive community where every mom feels seen, supported, and empowered.
