At The Marin School we encourage and empower our students to learn from and give back to their communities.
Sierra Leone Project -
In conjunction with Compassion First, TMS Students raise funds for the Advocacy Movement Network, a local NGO that focuses on advocacy of women and children. Located in Kissi Town, a seaside community about two hours from Freetown, the funds raised benefit the Fountain of Mercy Shelter and Makripodis Secondary School. The situation at the school and shelter is a struggle: children receive, on average, one meal a day and teachers work despite insufficient funds for salary. In June 2010
TMS students raised over $2455 through their participation in the
Xterra Marin Headlands Trail Run.
