The Sunny Hills Group In addition to operating its own array of programs, Sunny Hills Services also acts as the umbrella for two member organizations: the Marin Academic Center and BAYC. Members of the Sunny Hills Services Group: Marin Academic Center The Marin Academic Center (MAC) is a California certified nonpublic school serving children ages 5 to 15 whose educational and behavioral challenges are too acute to be handled in traditional public school environments. MAC provides high-quality, individualized education that addresses each student’s needs, and builds upon their interests and fundamental desire to learn and grow. MAC aims to move their young clients, when ready, into less restrictive academic environments in local public schools. Based in Marinwood, MAC serves children from throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. For more information, visit www.marinacademiccenter.org. BAYC BAYC operates as the East Bay division of Sunny Hills and works with youth ages 15-24 who are emancipating from the foster care system. Based in Hayward, Calif., BAYC’s programs are designed to support successful transitions to adulthood by helping young people to develop positive relationships, healthy lifestyles, independent living skills, and the achievement of educational goals. BAYC provides housing assistance, integrated mental health services and a healthy dose of adult encouragement to ensure these youth have the opportunity they deserve to reach their full potential.
