Marin Open Space Trust (MOST) is devoted to helping save more than 15,000 acres of critical open space area in Marin. Many parts of Marin are protected only by regulatory control, which can change over time. Many key parcels are are in private hands and are available for purchase from time to time, and until MOST was formed, Marin has lacked a private non-profit land trust set up to fund the purchase of such key open space. www.marinopenspacetrust.org

July 27 – the MYC

The MYC is a non- profit which seeks to fulfill its mission by offering free classes  in the areas of arts and technology in order to help youth grow by  learning new skills. We have developed a comprehensive program for middle and high-school  students to learn about cooking, nutrition, and the food industry. Most recently, we’ve developed a culinary job skills readiness  training program for older youth living in Marin County.  This  program is fast track program, designed to prepare youth to enter  the work force in the culinary industry.

Classes are housed in The MYC`s commercial kitchen, designed  specifically as a teaching space. The instruction is free to Marin’s  youth, and focuses on three main objectives: to have young people 1)  understand healthy lifestyle and food options to maintain and  improve well-being; 2) learn basic culinary skills to cook healthy  meals for themselves and their families; and 3) develop job-training  skills to become more marketable in the work force.
