Testimonials

“This past year was my first as a Minds Matter volunteer, and I had the opportunity to work with Diana Castillo, a bubbly, ambitious and incredibly intelligent junior in high school. I had the opportunity to meet her mother, grandmother and sisters, and when Diana was accepted into Exeter’s summer program, I was beside her when she told her mother and grandmother. The expression and pride in their faces is something I will always remember.” — Sue Yoon, Minds Matter of Boston Mentor

“I have been amazed at how much our students are able to accomplish in one academic year through their work with Minds Matter’s dedicated volunteers. It is awe inspiring to see the hundreds of mentors gather every weekend and share their knowledge and experience with these deserving and hardworking students. It is even more impressive to see how much the mentors end up learning from their mentees.” — Jill Cohen, Minds Matter of NYC Leadership Volunteer

“As a Minds Matter mentor, it’s very rewarding to see the positive influence and effect you can have on a talented teenager who only needs a little help and direction to gain access to a whole world of opportunities and experiences.” — Todd Sermersheim, Minds Matter of Boston Mentor
