Volunteers Across All Chapters In 2026
Each year, we place bright and motivated students together with college graduates, who are committed to developing strong relationships with students and guiding them toward their academic pursuits.
of Volunteers Feel that Being Part of Minds Matter is a Meaningful Experience
Minds Matter could not exist without the hard work and commitment of our volunteers nationwide. Our dedicated volunteer mentors grow from their experiences with students, enjoy the tangible satisfaction of seeing their students succeed, and gain a valuable resume asset and a network of like-minded professionals.
Minds Matter offers community for both volunteers and students through lasting and impactful relationships, built on the foundation of personal interactions. It is not uncommon for mentor/mentee relationships between volunteers and their students to continue beyond the three-year program and into the students’ college and post-collegiate experiences. Our volunteers are a motivational powerhouse, always available to provide a listening ear and an encouraging word to the students they mentor.
"Any tutoring organization can get kids good scores on their SATs, into a good college, awarded scholarship money, but only ONE can create a family through the mentoring program - and that's Minds Matter. We're impacting the students' lives in more ways than we realize - and that's what sets Minds Matter apart from any other organization" - Chelsey Keenan, Minds Matter Philadelphia
