About
Bridge the Gap College Prep Programs offers in school math and reading intervention, an extended day program, a high school program, a college & career program, and an after-school program. The program also provides one on one tutoring, summer programs, and weekly group guitar lessons.
Bridge the Gap has offered tutoring and other services to students in southern Marin since 1995 and is celebrating 30 years of building a strong foundation. It supports students from transitional kindergarten through college and beyond, with a focus on helping students prepare for college and post-secondary pathways, helping prepare Marin City students for college success, helping grow a community of college-bound graduates, and planting seeds for college from an early age and steadily supporting that mindset. The organization was started as a reading program by the late pastor Fred Small and volunteers at People’s Inter-Cities Fellowship in Marin City.
Bridge the Gap has extended its program to western Marin and is working at Tomales High School to help students boost their academic skills and college readiness, with expansion into West Marin involving collaboration with schools, community organizations, and donors. Branson School students arranged weekly group guitar lessons during Bridge the Gap’s after-school program for the Sausalito Marin City School District. Bridge the Gap hosts its annual Vines & Vision Gala, invites the community to join in supporting youth and their futures, and seeks enthusiastic and compassionate volunteers and support for its programs.
The leadership team includes Executive Director Lisa Raffel, Volunteer Manager Cat Tong, Director of Development Sara Ryba, and Enrollment staff member Amy Adkins. Bridge the Gap was named Nonprofit of the Year 2023 by Giving Marin. A student speaker at Tam High’s graduation described attending Dominican University of California as a first-generation college student as a dream they never thought possible when they first came to the U.S.
