The California Study, Inc.
Our unique organization was founded in 1975 (incorporated as a charity in 1987) by volunteer Executive Director, Marilyn Nemzer, in order to provide educational resources to kids, their teachers, families, schools and non-profits. It began as The Study, a private tutoring service for students of all ages throughout the SF Bay Area, and soon added the Teachers’ Registry, a teacher placement service for private schools. These projects were operated by The California Study for fifteen years, giving outstanding service to families and schools. Our organization moved on to other exciting new projects and programs.
Our currently most active projects are:
The Book Exchange ~ The Book Exchange is a joyous literacy project that gets books to thousands of under-resourced children every year. This is an all-volunteer program — winner of many awards — located in San Rafael, California. Working with local youth, educators and service clubs, we promote education and literacy worldwide. Ongoing since 1987.
Energy for Keeps (Energy Education Group) ~ Energy for Keeps: Creating Clean Electricity from Renewable Resources is an award-winning, highly illustrated primer about renewable energy for readers 6th grade and higher. Authored and published by the Energy Education Group in 2003, with second edition in 2010. The book is currently being updated for new publication.
