Students receive a combination of individualized mentorship and academic guidance that provides them with the resources, knowledge, and support to succeed in high school, enroll in and graduate from college, and take their first steps into meaningful careers.
A Community of Opportunity
All of us at Minds Matter NYC—students, volunteers, board members, staff, donors, and supporters—are united by a single purpose: to close the educational gap and provide opportunities to deserving and dedicated students.
“I can’t emphasize enough how incredible of a program Minds Matter NYC is! The mentorship and free resources that I received as a Minds Matter student were critical to preparation and success in college and beyond.”
