Special Thanks!

A special thank you to the Larkspur Community Foundation who granted Marin Enrichment $5,000 to subsidize the cost to operate the Marin Enrichment Learning Hub. These funds will specifically be targeted to support our neediest students in the community based on the impact of our local health pandemic. It is through partnerships like these that we come together as a community to do all that we can for each and every one of our children!
