2024 Minds Matter 5K Fun Run
Minds Matter Twin Cities had our inaugural Minds in Motion 5K Fun Run! We ran around the beautiful Lake Bde Maka Ska, where every stride supported our mission to empower young minds. Together, we raised over $2,000 to help students from low-income families strive for a brighter future. Thank you to everyone who participated and our sponsors for making this a successful fundraiser.

Minds Matter Twin Cities Celebrated Our 10-Year Anniversary
In April 2023, we celebrated 10 years of community work we have accomplished for the past 10 years. Our dedicated volunteers help break down barriers, level the playing field and, ultimately, change the trajectory of our students' futures. We aim to grow our program so we can continue to help more students from low-income families gain college admission. Thank you to everyone who showed up to support us!

What Minds Matter Does
Minds Matter is a three-year program that begins in students' sophomore year of high school. Minds Matter offers its students a combination of individualized mentor support and academic instruction that provides students with the resources, information, and guidance they need to gain admission to, enroll in, and graduate from four-year colleges.
400 Hours
More than 400 hours of in-class instruction in math and writing skills and ACT/SAT preparation
Two Mentors
Weekly mentoring with two dedicated mentors from sophomore year of high school to graduation
Two Summer Programs
Attendance at prestigious summer programs across the nation and around the world, fully funded by donors
Students have been accepted into a four-year college
We strive to equip high school students with the tools to gain acceptance to a four-year university and navigate the financial aid process. Through these efforts, we help our students develop as individuals. We introduce them to a world of opportunity outside their neighborhoods and comfort zones. Minds Matter works with motivated students because we believe that no student dedicated to earning a college education should be limited by socioeconomic status.
