Bridge the Gap provides comprehensive academic, social, and emotional support to students and families in the Tamalpais Union High School District and the Shoreline Unified School District.
Our mission is to ensure that every student graduates from high school prepared to pursue their greatest potential; whether that means attending a four-year university, enrolling in vocational training, or beginning a career. We are committed to helping students build pathways toward economic sustainability and independence.
Our vision is for all students to have equitable access, opportunities, and choices to achieve their fullest potential.
Research consistently shows that higher education is one of the most powerful ways for under-resourced and first-generation students to increase lifetime opportunities and earnings. Bridge the Gap exists to make that pathway possible.
