WHO WE ARE

Above the Influence (ATI) Network is a grassroots nonprofit organization, dedicated to inspiring young people and strengthening communities through support, fact-based education, and civic engagement. Through our transformative programs, youth coalition efforts, and comprehensive outreach we are turning the tide against substance abuse and mental health
challenges in Marin County.
 
We provide youth with the platforms and assistance to find their voices and lead the charge for positive change. Our trainings equip participants with the public speaking skills and self-assurance to advocate fearlessly for what's right.​

Features

What we offer

ATI delivers solutions to the real-life challenges our youth face. We've developed a  transformative model that first LISTENS to the needs of young people, then  RESPONDS with custom-tailored workshops focused on peer-to-peer mentorship.​

Through this process, we TRAIN the next generation of community leaders,  ACTIVATING them to realize their unique gifts and thrive as changemakers. Finally, we UNLEASH these empowered youth as thought leaders, equipping them with evidence-based skills to rise above
manipulative societal influences.

Together, we can create a future where every young person has the opportunity to thrive. Whether you’re looking to volunteer, donate, or simply stay informed, your support makes all the difference. Let’s rise above and make a lasting impact, one community at a time.
