Founded in 1895 in Marin County as an orphanage, Side By Side operates across the Bay Area as a support network for youth that have been impacted by trauma and adversity. All their services are tailored for what each young person needs, from mental health assistance to transitional housing. Their Marin Valentine’s Day Ball is a celebration of love that helps in-need youth and benefits two other local agencies: North Bay Children’s Center and the Godmothers of Catholic Charities St. Vincent’s School for Boys.
