“Minds Matter has allowed me the opportunity to expand my perception of life far past the boundaries of my city life.” –Melissa F.

“Minds Matter has been the highlight of my high school career.  Every skill I have learned along the way is now embedded in my life.  My voice, my opinion, and ultimately my future, matters.”  -Rania K.

“Minds Matter has given me two intelligent, extremely supportive, and understanding mentors who helped me apply to summer programs, colleges and scholarships.  The college application process, college essay writing, and scholarship processes were not only foreign to me, but to my parents as well…[Minds Matter] has helped me believe in myself and understand that I can achieve anything if I try my best.”  -Mansura M.

“I sometimes ask myself, “Who would I be if it were not for Minds Matter?”  Minds Matter allowed me to see a whole new world beyond the walls of the concrete jungle.  Overall I feel like I have developed into a well-rounded individual who seeks to be more than just ‘good enough’.” –Jesus V.
