Seasonal Sports: Play Marin’s seasonal sports include basketball, girls’ volleyball, track and field, and lacrosse. Through these programs, kids of diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds come together on the same team, building essential skills and a shared sense of culture and community. Play Marin sports teams engage in top tier athletic experiences, consistently winning tournaments and championships through their commitment and teamwork.

Summer Camps: Play Marin offers a variety of summer activities for youth ages 7 through 18 to keep young people active and engaged in building lasting friendships “off season”. Play Marin’s 2020 summer programming helped kids explore the incredible Marin outdoors through new adventures such as surfing, hiking, and biking while learning about and adhering to Marin’s COVID safety protocols. 

Extracurricular Activities: Play Marin’s ever-extending programs ensure kids stay connected with their friends and community through enrichment activities such as sports clinics, swim lessons, skateboarding, cooking, teen programming, and social justice.  

Play Marin has empowered the Marin City community to help it thrive amidst great change and challenge. Play Marin takes an active role as a community advocate, engaging legal support and growth resources through community partnerships. 

When Play Marin’s regular programming was halted due to shelter in place orders, they pivoted to provide 600 meals a week for three months to families in need, purchased from local restaurants. Play Marin recently led an initiative to revitalize the Marin City Community Center with some of the leading organizations in the Bay Area. Play Marin also brings Marin City residents together to learn and celebrate their local community. 

Play Marin helps young leaders rise through its youth programming. As kids grow, Play Marin continues to support and cultivate their leadership. Marin City Matters is a social justice program that was born from this youth leadership. Older youth and young adults take active roles within the Marin City community to organize and spur social change, generating empowerment within Marin City and a shared mission for positive social impact among youth and residents throughout Marin. 

These young leaders share powerful stories of strength from their Marin City roots which helped them rise above the many challenges facing youth and leaders of color in today’s world.
