At our 2025 Spring Soirée, Minds Matter Boston unveiled a bold new vision: expanding from a four-year program to a seven-year model designed to support students through high school, college, and into meaningful careers.

We’re excited to announce NBC10 Anchor and Reporter Glenn Jones as Emcee and Boston City Councilor Enrique J. Pepén as our featured guest speaker for the 2026 Minds Matter Boston Spring Soirée!

An Emmy Award-winning journalist and longtime news reporter, Glenn Jones brings both an incredible presence and a personal connection to our mission as a first-generation college graduate.

We’re also proud to welcome Enrique J. Pepén back to the Minds Matter Boston stage — this time as an alum, former mentor, and Boston City Councilor. Enrique graduated from Minds Matter Boston’s 2013 cohort and later returned to volunteer as a mentor alongside his wife, whom he first met through the program.

Together, Glenn and Enrique embody the power of mentorship, opportunity, and community — the heart of Minds Matter Boston.

Join us on June 11th at Artists for Humanity for what is shaping up to be one of our most impactful Soirées yet. Buy your tickets at https://donate.mindsmatterboston.org/MMB-Soiree-2026

On May 9, we celebrated our 62 graduating seniors in the Minds Matter Boston Class of 2026!

This group has worked incredibly hard to reach this milestone, and we’re so proud of everything they’ve accomplished on their way to college.

Our Senior Commencement Speaker, Jaleeyah, captured the heart of the day perfectly: “Thank you for creating a space where students are not only supported, but truly seen.”

Our seniors are heading to an amazing list of colleges this fall, and we can’t wait to continue supporting them through our College & Career Success program.

Congratulations, Class of 2026! 🎓

The time has come - we're celebrating our incredible Class of 2026 seniors at our annual Graduation Celebration!

Class of 2026 students have completed 1,260 hours of out-of-school learning in our program over the course of three years in their sophomore, junior and senior years of high school. They've spent 90 Saturdays with us. 30% of our senior class have received full ride scholarships to their colleges this fall, with five Questbridge, two Posse, Four Fidelity, one Amazon, and one Stephen Phillips scholarship recipients in this year's cohort. They've gone above and beyond in working towards their goals - now's our chance to celebrate their hard work!

Join MMB at MIT's Walker Memorial building this Saturday to celebrate our students as they walk across the stage, with remarks from Commencement Speaker Chief Justice Roderick Ireland, Distinguished Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice.

Career exploration and exposure opportunities are core to the Minds Matter Boston experience, and with the help of our partners at NBCU Boston, they can also be some of the most fun.

Last month, 24 Minds Matter Boston students spent three days behind the scenes in the NBC10 Boston newsroom. From shadowing audio/visual professionals to planning their own broadcast projects, our students gained valuable lessons about teamwork and synchronicity, and had the chance to imagine futures for themselves in broadcasting.

Victoria Walker is going the distance! Both a mentor and a runner with Minds Matter Boston’s 130th Boston Marathon team, she was recently featured in Boston.com’s series highlighting Boston Marathon athletes!

"Two years ago, in the months leading up to my 29th birthday, I felt lonely, unmotivated, and disconnected in a city I loved. I was building a life in Boston, but something essential was missing. I knew I couldn’t keep moving through my days feeling that way, so I began searching for what I lacked most: community. That search led me to two unexpected places – mentoring and running – both of which have transformed my life in ways I never imagined."

We're so grateful to have both an amazing mentor and marathon runner in our community. Learn more about Victoria's story and consider making a gift to her fundraising journey!

Our inaugural Career Incubator event is officially in the books! 🎉

Earlier this month, we brought together Minds Matter Boston college students and corporate partners together for a powerful afternoon of learning, connection, and career exploration. The energy in the room said it all.

From workshops on imposter syndrome and the unwritten rules of the workplace, to learning how to understand a first job offer, students built confidence, clarity, and real-world career skills. Then, they put it all into practice during a dynamic networking mixer.

What made this day special wasn’t just the programming; it was the people who showed up. Students arrived curious and ready. Partners came ready to listen, share, and connect. Together, they created something meaningful.

This is just the beginning. We’re excited to keep growing this space where students gain access, build networks, and start imagining what’s possible for their futures.

Thank you to our incredible students, partners, and community for making it happen 💙
