Students: Learn More
Minds Matter Seattle students receive dedicated support in four key areas.
Mentoring
You will be paired with two dedicated professional volunteers who will act as your mentors. Mentors provide support throughout the school year, coaching you through professional development workshops, summer program and college applications, personal statement writing, and more. Mentors are also a critical part of your support system, so the more you invest in building this relationship, the more you will learn and gain from this meaningful and unique relationship.
Academic Programs
