Community Center Strategy: PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE
In 2024, the San Geronimo Valley Community Center completed a strategic planning process that brought together community stakeholders, board members, and staff to guide the next three years of impact. Following a successful executive transition, this was a timely moment to step back, assess all that we do, and envision what comes next. What became clear is that the Center is strong, deeply valued by the community, and poised for intentional growth. To continue evolving, we must balance meeting day-to-day needs with thinking big—innovating and planning for a more systematic approach to community wellbeing. The plan charts a clear course for growth, adaptability, and resilience—ensuring we continue to meet the evolving needs of our community with purpose. Centered on four priorities—Programs and Services, Sustainable Funding, Operations and Staff Capacity, and Marketing and Outreach—it builds on our strong foundation and community focus. We also recognized the importance of aligning our mission and identity with our expanding reach. Through deep collaborations, the Center now serves West Marin far beyond our primary service area of the San Geronimo Valley and Nicasio, extending our impact across the region. Our plan and an updated mission statement now reflect this part of our work. Strategic plans are essential for community-based organizations like ours—they turn reflection into action, provide accountability, and keep us focused on long-term sustainability while responding to immediate needs. This plan is not a document on a shelf, but a living, breathing roadmap—one that will guide us as we meet the moment, adapt to change, and continue caring for our community with heart and purpose.
OUr updated mission statement To foster healthy communities through connection, support, and creativity in the San Geronimo Valley, Nicasio, and broader West Marin.
