On Thursday evening, more than 310 members of the Minds Matter Boston community came together at Artists for Humanity for our 2026 Spring Soirée.

Thanks to your generosity, we are thrilled to share that together we raised more than $364,000—surpassing our goal by over $64,000 and making this the most successful fundraising event in Minds Matter Boston history.

To everyone who attended, volunteered, donated, bid in the auction, purchased lockbox keys, raised a paddle, or supported the event in any way: thank you. This incredible result belongs to all of you.

To our sponsors, many of whom have returned year after year with an unwavering commitment to our students: thank you. Through financial support, career learning experiences, and intentional partnership, you’ve played a pivotal role in helping our College & Career Success program start strong and making this our most successful Soirée to date.

Most importantly, to our entire Minds Matter Boston Community: thank you for believing in a future where no student's dreams for college and career are limited by their socioeconomic status.

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.
