About Volunteer Opportunities

Describe the Tutoring or Mentoring Opportunity

Karma Club offers free tutoring for middle and high school students through our Peer-to-Peer Tutoring program in collaboration with private high schools in Marin, as well as volunteer tutors and from staff and interns. Demand is high and we are always looking for more help. When a tutoring request comes in, we make a direct one-on-one match with a tutor.

Where does the interaction take place?

Preferably at the Karma Club after school center, located inside of Northgate Mall Zoom is also a possibility.
