10,000 Degrees Academic Support Volunteers
10,000 Degrees Academic Support matches volunteer tutors with students from low-income backgrounds in Marin County public schools.
Established in 1997 as Marin County School of Volunteers, the organization began with 40 volunteers in five Marin County public schools. 10,000 Degrees Academic Support now has 100+ volunteers serving 2,500 students in 25 Marin County schools providing academic tutoring, virtual classroom support, and homework assistance. During the pandemic, our volunteers have continued to meet students where they are and shifted all of their tutoring work & support to be virtual.
We are grateful for our dedicated volunteers and partnering schools. Thank you for all you do to bring the 10,000 Degrees Academic Support program to our Marin County students!
Thank you to our Academic Support Volunteers who devoted their time to 10,000 Degrees students during the 2020 – 21 School year.

B.S., Cornell University in Engineering, 2003
I’ve seen the inequity in education, especially in Marin. I felt there was a need for help and was inspired by the 10,000 Degrees students and staff to help close that gap.
I work at an investment company called Loomis Sayles and I knew I wanted to hire 10,000 Degrees students. I recommended a partnership between Loomis and 10,000 Degrees to hire interns every year – we now have our first 10,000 Degrees alumna full-time hire!
Through the 10,000 Degrees Academic Support program, I’ve also been tutoring women in advanced-level math. I love working with women who either love math or may not really like math, but I help them to see that they can do it – and help them to overcome these barriers.
As I’ve gotten to know the 10,000 Degrees students, both as an Academic Support tutor and as a manager of several interns at Loomis, I’ve seen how much 10,000 Degrees can do for students. Many didn’t even know there was a path to college. But 10,000 Degrees guides them on this path, and stays with them through their whole college journey.
