If you're passionate about education, youth development, and social impact, there is a place for you in the Minds Matter SoCal community. No prior experience is needed-just your willingness to help and learn!

    • Learn about the powerful impact of Minds Matter on students and how you can contribute.
    • Hear firsthand from current volunteers and alumni about their experiences.
    • Step into a session and get a real sense of what it's like to be a part of our unique community.

    What Our Students Say About Their Mentors:

    • "Thanks to her, I went from starting the year not knowing which major to aim for, to becoming excited and so prepared for my future."
    • "We have meetings where we just talk about life and what we're struggling with, even if it's not academic...she feels like a real friend."
    • "She believed that I had the potential to go to a summer program that was I very unlikely to go to, a summer program across the world, and she kept rooting for me the whole way. "

    Are You Ready to Make a Difference? Whether you're seeking a way to give back, connect with your community, or mentor driven and passionate students, this is your chance to learn more and see if we're the right fit for you!

    About Minds Matter: Minds Matter connects driven and determined students from low-income families with the people, preparation, and possibilities to succeed in college, create their future, and change the world. Every day we listen, learn, and grow with our students celebrating their voices and uniting behind their dreams. We believe a student’s zip code shouldn’t limit their opportunities for college or life. No matter where our students are from, they have strong visions for where they want to go. We work every day to deliver progressive and tailored programs that empower dreams, cultivate growth, and tackle challenges first generation/first in their family students face in their journey to college. Because college shouldn’t be a barrier - it should be a beginning.
