About us
Minds Matter is a comprehensive and highly-successful three-year program that empowers young people from low-income families to achieve college readiness and success. Founded in New York City in 1991 by six Wall Street professionals who understood that the gap in low-income student achievement is not one of intelligence, but resources, Minds Matter has developed a successful program incorporating academics, mentoring, and enrichment experiences that prepare students for bright futures.
