Welcome to Our New Sophomore Class!
We're thrilled to introduce the Class of 2027 to the Minds Matter Houston community! Our first session took place at the Houston Food Bank, where our students met their dedicated mentors and teachers for the first time.
These driven students are embarking on a three-year journey with Minds Matter, attending 25 Saturday sessions per year. We require 80% attendance from both mentors and students, demonstrating their commitment to their academic future.
Our sophomores are an exceptional group of young people, all driven to succeed and gain admission to top colleges and universities. During orientation, we had the opportunity to meet their families and were deeply touched by their stories of resilience and determination. Many of our students are motivated by a desire to help their families, who have sacrificed so much for them.
The orientation was also a special occasion for our sophomores and mentors to meet face-to-face for the first time. We look forward to watching these new relationships grow and supporting our students on their journey to college.
Let's welcome our new sophomores and cheer them on as they embark on this exciting adventure!
