Make a meaningful impact on a high-achieving, low-income high school student by volunteering as a mentor with Minds Matter SoCal. At Minds Matter, we commit to long-term relationships with students, fostering a supportive community of diverse volunteers that feels like family. Mentors are the foundation of the organization and play a vital role in shaping a student’s future success. Your primary focus will be building trust and connection with your students, all while being supported by team leads and program heads through structured activities and assignments. Paired with a co-mentor and two students, you'll form a bond with your quad, guiding students in both academic and personal development. Together, you'll create a safe space for growth and inspire your students to dream big.
