"Bridge the Gap provided my daughter with one-on-one tutoring for
each of the years she has been a part of the program. That is something
not all programs can offer. She’s received assistance in reading and
math and help with completing her weekly homework assignments in Spanish,
Science and History."

Bridge the Gap College PrepBridge the Gap College Prep was founded in 1995 by Pastor Fred Small, Bob Hunter and Denni Brusseau. We began as a 100% volunteer grass roots effort by people who wanted to make a positive impact in the lives of children living in Marin City.
The education statistics of Marin City youth are daunting. Without academic support, low test scores and high drop-out rates make the dream of attending a four year university a long shot. Our objective is to close this achievement gap. Our programs focus on creating a college bound culture and providing the academic support necessary to graduate from high school and then college. With the support of committed and passionate community members and foundations, Bridge the Gap College Prep grew from being a volunteer run program to a fully operating non-profit organization.
Through our After School Extended Learning Day and Evening Tutoring Programs, we have increased the academic performance of Marin City students. Our efforts have resulted in students improving their literacy and math skills, self-esteem, and ability to succeed in high school and college. We started with 6 students in 1995 and now serve 180 students, all of whom want to go to college
Bridge the Gap College Prep is a comprehensive After School, Expanded Learning Day, with a College Preparatory focus, offered from 3:00 to 5:30 PM, three afternoons a week. Our location is 10 Liberty Ship Way, Suite 320, Sausalito. Four credentialed teachers, supported by volunteer tutors work with our students to determine their needs based on assessments. Special attention will be devoted to math and language arts. A weekly component is targeted to help students develop the tools to increase leadership, organizational and social skills, all presented in an atmosphere that honors the cultural diversity of Marin City. Our intent is that all of our students will attend both the evening tutoring and after school program. Whether you are looking for volunteer opportunities in Marin County, volunteer opportunities in San Francisco, the Bay Area or volunteer work for teens, we welcome your interest at any time.
