Overview
Minds Matter Boston connects driven and determined students from low-income families with the people, preparation, and possibilities to succeed in college, create their future, and change the world. NYTimes recognizes Minds Matter as a noteworthy cause in 2021 and 2022. We aim to equip underprivileged high school students with the tools to gain acceptance to top-tier academic summer programs and four-year universities, as we believe no student dedicated to earning a college education should be limited by socioeconomic status. Minds Matter Boston is committed to making college education a reality for our students in the Greater Boston area. Students are paired with two mentors and spend time during weekly mentoring sessions working on summer and college applications, standardized test preparation, community service efforts, writing and speaking skills, and other life skills that benefit the student academically and personally.
