On Thursday April 19, Minds Matter National will be hosting An Evening with Minds Matter, to celebrate 20 years of implemting our mission.   To date we have had tremendous success with 100% of our students graduating from high school and attending a four year college or university.  Thanks to over 1,300 volunteers, Minds Matter has launched chapters in nine cities around the country:  Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Portland and San Francisco.  We are currently serving 450+ students, but would love to reach so many more.  Your support will help us do just that!  In fact, your funds will be matched thanks to Minds Matter’s recent grant award from the Pershing Foundation.

On April 14, 2012, Minds Matter of Boston will be hosting its 4th Annual Spring Soiree.  Read more at Boston.com
