What Students Are Saying About Minds Matter Boston
"Summer programs were an amazing experience I had because of Minds Matter. I experienced what college really felt like each year, which will make it a lot easier to transition this fall. I am now ready to take on college.”
Yalidys

"Minds Matter has provided the ultimate gift: opportunity. It is also why I will be returning as a mentor after graduating from college. I believe that every student should have that same gift I was privileged to have."
Kenny

"Being in Minds Matter taught me to speak up and ask for help from the people around me. My mentors kept me on track during moments when I wanted to give up and showed me how
far I could go when I asked for support."
