Mission Statement
Minds Matter Bay Area (MMBay) is an education nonprofit that connects driven and determined students from low-income families with the people, preparation, and possibilities to succeed in college, create their future, and change the world.
About This Cause
Founded in 2010, 100% of our alumni have been accepted to 4-year colleges, and 97% are on track to graduate from college within 4 years. Our students - compared with similar peers - are 25X as likely to graduate from a selective college that prepares them for career and beyond. In the age of COVID-19, low-income students are especially vulnerable to learning loss. To mitigate this loss, MMBay invests in distance learning for our students by: 1. Offering 5 hours of live weekly virtual instruction and mentoring sessions for Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, focused on college and career preparation, social / emotional learning, and mental health and wellness. 2. Funding our students to pursue online learning opportunities during the summer that will allow them to continue their academic and professional exploration. 3. In partnership with Coursera and an in-house mental health expert, providing additional online training to volunteers, who are mentoring our students through an unprecedented moment. 4. Purchasing laptops for every student, so that they have access to technology for distance learning.
