Novato embarks on new after-school initiative for at-risk kids

Four new clubs have debuted in Marin providing after-school programs following pandemic-era closures.

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma-Marin have launched clubs in Novato at San Jose and Sinaloa middle schools, and Lynwood and Olive elementary schools.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with the Novato School District to provide our after-school programs to their students,” CEO Jennifer Weiss said.

“Our programs are designed to help students reach their full potential, and we are excited to work with the district and the schools to make a positive impact on the lives of their students,” she said.

Approved by Novato Unified School District trustees in September, the endeavor is part of the district’s Expanded Learning

Program, which seeks on-campus partnerships with community groups such as the Boys & Girls Club, the YMCA, North Marin Community Services and the Marin City-based nonprofit Play Marin.
