Review for 10,000 Degrees, San Rafael, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I can say without a doubt that 10,000 Degrees is one of the top non-profit organizations I've ever experienced. As a low income, first generation senior at San Rafael High School in the 2010-2011 school year, I received a multitude of support in my college applications, scholarship assistance, test preparation, and expectation pressures for my role in society. When I received my 4-year acceptance letter, my relationship with 10,000 Degrees never ceased.

Now as a a first year Teach for America teacher in Richmond, 10,000 Degrees has helped instill college bounded minds inside my sometimes challenging, but incredible 6th graders. 10,000 Degrees came to deliver fun, goal oriented, and inspiring workshops and coupled the education with a staff and first generation student led student panel and field trip to UC Berkeley! They did all this and I am already an alumni.

Starting off as a student served, transitioning to a college student working as a Student Advisor for rising juniors and volunteering as a Mentor for a sweet senior, to currently a young professional serving as a Board Member of one of their scholarship organizations, and maintaining my ties with the beautiful staff: 10,000 Degrees is an infinity organization in my heart.
