The Center was originally incorporated in 1976 under the name Circuit Rider Productions to offer pro-social programming and service-learning activities to at-risk youth. Since that time The Center has grown to become largest multi-service social and environmental service agency in Sonoma County with offices located in Windsor, Santa Rosa, and Cloverdale.  

The Center's responsive programming, dedication and performance has earned us our reputation as an innovative, well-respected community based non-profit organization. The Center recognizes the interdependent link between the health of an individual person, the greater community, and the natural environment.

The Center delivers culturally sensitive services in both English and Spanish. For more than 20 years our staff has utilized evidence-based practices in the delivery of mental health services throughout Sonoma County. We provide youth, families, and adults with guidance, mentoring, counseling, and community service opportunities designed to develop pro-social and work-ready skills, while achieving their unique positive human potential.

As stewards of the environment, The Center employs our extensive knowledge of Sonoma County ecosystems to design and implement a complex array of restoration projects including watershed planning, ecological restoration, natural resource mapping and service-learning activities. In our native plant nursery we cultivate plants for habitat restoration projects throughout northern California.

MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to support community members to become stewards of their own lives,  the lives of others and the environment in which we all live.
