Point Arena nonprofit Action Network to close

POINT ARENA, CA., 5/19/26 — After 24 years of serving the south coast Mendocino area, Point Arena nonprofit Action Network will close in June. The organization fell on hard times after losing major funding sources they had come to rely on.

The nonprofit began as a coordinating entity to help connect the rural communities it serves to social and medical services. It then expanded into providing its own, mostly behavioral, health-related services. Action Network was active in the local schools, running weekly classes on social and emotional learning, focusing on positive youth development and substance-use prevention.
