Trips for Kids Marin
October 2, 2009
My name is Alison and I am the Project Coordinator for a mentoring program that assists teens that have an incarcerated parent. A large part of our program is our monthly group events. Our kids LOVE Trips for Kids rides. They comment frequently about how fun and cool the staff/volunteers are. The kids love doing the hike up to the look out point at Tennessee Valley Beach and not all of our mentors are as eager but the T4K volunteers always step up and go with them. From one nonprofit to another they are fantastic to work with Willow and Marilyn have made many a miracle happen, even with our large group.

More feedback...
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
How easy they make the process of scheduling, paperwork, waivers and needed materials like providing the bikes.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
FANTASTIC-Everyone is so helpful and so willing to work with you and accomodate your needs.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Lose what makes it great. This is such a simple fantastic resource and sometimes more to not a good thing. I would love for them to have more funding so they could have more staff and materials but I think they have made an amazing program as it is.
