Celebrate With Us at The 10-Year Anniversary Benefit on April 20!
We are celebrating 10 years of Minds Matter Twin Cities and making a difference in our students' lives! Our dedicated volunteers help break down barriers, level the playing field and, ultimately, change the trajectory of our students' futures. We have accomplished so much, yet still have more work to do.
We are thrilled to return to in-person celebrations and fundraising events. This year, we will be celebrating on April 20 at The Whim at 6-8:30 PM. We would love to have you!
Thank You To Our Sponsors!




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.
