"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 was founded 15 years ago to increase the literacy and math skills of children in Marin City, through an Evening Tutoring program utilizing a credentialed teacher and dedicated volunteers, where students are paired with tutor/mentors to work one-on-one assisting students with homework and reading skills. These student and tutor/mentor relationships last from nine months to several years. Bridge the Gap’s College Prep program expands this work by offering intensive afternoon sessions incorporating more teacher focused academic and social interventions necessary to close the educational achievement gap, helping Marin City students perform at grade level, and above, and successfully graduate from high school and college. Today, more than 90 tutors are available to work with 75 chidlren K-12. Bridge the Gap College Prep launched on January 11, 2010. Our comprehensive After School, Expanded Learning Day, with a College Preparatory focus is offered from 3:00 to 5:30 PM, three afternoons a week. Our new 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.
