We wish you a Happy New Year from Minds Matter NYC! As we begin 2015, we’ve been reflecting on how far we have come in 2014, and planning our many resolutions for the New Year. As we begin 2015, one of our main goals is to engage our supporters in new and exciting ways! We want our supporters to not only have personal, meaningful experiences with Minds Matter, but to see the impact they have on the lives of our students. For this reason, we are starting off 2015 with new opportunities for you to learn more about Minds Matter and interact with our wonderful senior students! Please see two of our upcoming opportunities below:
Mock Interviews
In order to help our senior students prepare for college and professional interviews, we are looking for 15-20 volunteers to conduct practice interviews. Each interview will take about 10 minutes, followed by 5-10 minutes of feedback. We will provide feedback forms and prospective questions to interested volunteers.
When: Saturday, January 24th
11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Where: Manhattan Business Academy
351 W 18th Street (b/t 8th and 9th Ave)
6th Floor, Cafeteria
RSVP: Chris Quinlan, info@mindsmatter.org
Please respond by January 16th.
Networking Session
Professionals from a variety of industries are invited to spend an afternoon with students in our senior program. The goal of this session is to expose students to different careers and help them develop networking skills. We will need about 60 volunteers and would like to have a number of different professions represented.
When: Saturday, February 7th
11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

We hope you will take these opportunities to learn more about Minds Matter and the amazing impact you have on the lives of students across New York City. We believe there is no better way to begin the New Year!
