Review for Peninsula Bridge, San Mateo, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Peninsula Bridge does an incredible job of preparing youth from underserved neighborhoods along the 101 corridor of the SF Peninsula to be successful when they enter high school. They do this with a commitment to teach the basics of math and English while providing a rich program that is fun and interesting for the students. The organizers, site directors, teachers, mentors and everyone else who is involved are passionate about their mission and do a tremendous job of making the students feel cared for.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

the enthusiasm of the students for learning and doing well in school.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

working with the students themselves and seeing the great potential that can be unleashed with a little focused attention and genuine caring.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

youthful, energetic, smart, committed.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?

2008

Role:  Volunteer & taught photography and volunteer as staff photographer for the program.
