Circuit Rider Community Services

As stewards of the environment, Circuit Rider Community Services employs our extensive knowledge of our local ecosystems to design and implement a complex array of restoration projects including watershed planning, ecological restoration, natural resource mapping and service-learning activities.

Circuit Rider, known by many names during its history, is the name under which our organization was founded in 1976. But what is a circuit rider? Historically, judges, doctors, librarians, and ministers travelled established routes or “circuits” in order to deliver their services to as many people as possible, literally meeting them where they were. Our name, Circuit Rider, was originally chosen in the same spirit of diversified service delivery to our community — meeting our clients where they were physically and emotionally. Still our mission today, we are proud to return to our original roots and name.

Circuit Rider has a long history and storied past in Sonoma County. Innovative and daring programs, dedicated and passionate staff, and strong reach to youth and clients established the organization as a treasured mainstay in the community. The focus of Circuit Rider has always been diverse, the willingness to try new programs strong and the staff and participants have driven innovation and growth.
