Volunteer

Share your time and passion

No prior education experience is required, simply a passion for a topic and sharing it with young people. Volunteers at other centers have described their time as “rewarding,” “meaningful,” and “fun!” 
As a volunteer you can:
 
  • tutor
  • lead a small class
  • offer a workshop
  • offer an internship, volunteer or work experience

Donate

Families need us now more than ever. Membership fees allow the programs at Mariner Learning Collaborative to function on a basic level. We rely on community support for the rest.

Where your donation goes

Resources to keep us running

…technical supplies (computers, monitors, printers), office supplies and supplies for classes such as art, cooking, makerspace and more. Your donations enable us to offer more to our teens without additional cost to them. We even accept donated materials.

Enjoyable learning experiences

…expenses for Friday trips, overnight trips, community events, and space improvements to provide our members with the most pleasurable and fullest experiences that we can offer.

Opportunity for all kinds of kids

…membership fees for families who couldn’t otherwise afford to attend our center. Mariner is founded on a mission to help all local kids who want or need a different learning experience than is offered in conventional schools. We are for people not profit. Your donations help us support our mission.

Mariner Learning Collaborative commits to work with families at all income levels. We receive no federal or state funding and rely on our tuition and the generosity of our supporters. Mariner Learning Collaborative is a 501c3 non-profit organization. Your tax-deductible donation allows us to continue to maintain a community that is economically diverse.

Spread the Word!

The best and most affordable marketing for Mariner is word of mouth. Feel free to talk to friends, family, and acquaintances about the work we are doing with young people…even if they don’t have school age kids. 
 
As you run into people who are unhappy with their current educational experience, send them a link to the website or give them our contact information. We would love to see if Mariner is a fit for their family.
