Transforming the lives of accomplished high school students from low-income families by broadening their dreams and preparing them for college success.
Help us reach our fundraising goal of $100,000!
Founded in 1991, Minds Matter is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to transform the lives of accomplished high school students from low-income families by broadening their dreams and preparing them for college success.
By working with our mentors and attending top-tier summer programs, Minds Matter students gain academic and social enrichment, while strengthening their college applications. The organization also thoroughly addresses their need for guidance through the college admissions and financial aid processes.
In the 2009-2010 academic year, Minds Matter has over 300 students in six chapters across the United States and is supported by more than 700 volunteers.
The organization relies solely on donations from generous individuals, corporations and foundations to send students to summer programs in the United States and abroad, and to provide them with scholarships.
Minds Matter builds lifelong mentee/mentor friendships and provides students with academic opportunities that may otherwise never have existed.
