Become a mentor to a Boston student!

Want to make an impact? Minds Matter Boston is looking for new mentors for our incoming class of high school students this fall!

About Minds Matter Boston

Minds Matter Boston (MMB) is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to connect 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. For the last 23+ years, every Minds Matter Boston graduate has gained admission to a 4-year college.

Minds Matter works with students from their Sophomore to Senior years in high school, providing weekly 2-on-2 mentorship, tuition and board to top-tier academic summer programs, professional test prep and writing programming, and access to experts on the college application and financial aid process. Since its inception in 2003, 100% of Minds Matter Boston’s graduating seniors have been accepted to a four-year college.

As a mentor, you will have the chance to transform a young student's life by supporting their college dreams. You could be the catalyst for helping a student become the first in his or her family to attend college.

About Mentoring:

• You will be paired with two students throughout the year, alongside a second mentor (2:2).
• Sessions are held on Saturdays from 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM at MIT and BU.
• There are approximately 25 sessions September-June, and mentors are expected to attend 80% of those sessions.
• Mentors should be a consistent and positive influence for each student throughout their three-year experience; for this reason, we would like to ask you to make a minimum two-year commitment to the program.

How to Apply:

• Please apply online via https://www.mindsmatterboston.org/mentors/.
• After submitting your application, someone will reach out to schedule a phone interview.

Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI):

We know the importance of mentors who reflect the backgrounds of the young men and women we

work with – namely, Black, Latinx, and/or first-generation to college. We strongly encourage

individuals who share those identities to apply. Additionally, as DEI is a pillar of our mission, all

mentors can expect to receive trainings focused on DEI in an effort to build knowledge and skills.
