Mount Tamalpais College is a national leader in providing quality higher education opportunities to incarcerated people and in expanding access to higher education within California’s prison system and nationwide. In recognition of our work the organization was awarded the 2015 National Humanities Medal by President Obama.

This is a fledgling program area for Mount Tamalpais College that requires the ability and willingness to carry out a broad range of tasks, from the more highly skilled to the more menial.
