First 5 Marin is committed to serving children and families in Marin County through equitable and inclusive community engagement. Through our actions, we aim to combat the harm that historically racist practices have inflicted on communities of color in Marin County.
We provide strategic investments, policy leadership and community partnerships to support families and empower all children to reach their true potential.
Regular meetings of the First 5 Marin Commission are generally scheduled for the third Wednesday of each month, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., at 310 Nova Albion Way, San Rafael, California.
All Commission meetings are open to the public, and members of the public are welcome to attend.
For specific meeting dates, please refer to the Schedule of Meetings FY 2026-2027.
