I have the great privilege of serving on the Growth Circles board. We are a nonprofit run entirely by volunteers, teachers, and parents who encourage low-income middle and high school students from Marin City, California, to learn through educational travel.

Our mission is to inspire students to think bigger and achieve more by expanding their world outlook through travel experiences that encourage them to move out of their comfort zones and expand their “growth circles.”.

In the spring of 2022, we faced a unique challenge due to Covid and needed a plan B for the kids. Our community mentor, Wayne Price, who has served our community for the past 25 years, We are planning a trip to Atlanta. Wayne and several other mentors will take a trip to look at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), attend a sporting event and participate in community service.  Atlanta is rich in black culture, with a large middle and upper-class black community, something our Marin City kids are not exposed to in our prominently white county or through their experiences at Tam High School.

Please consider donating to this important cause and support Marin City students during this challenging time. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
