MINDS MATTER COLORADO
NEWSLETTER
Become a mentor, make an impact!
As a 98% volunteer run organization, our mentors are at the heart of what we do! Being a Minds Matter mentor is different from volunteering with other youth support organizations. It’s scheduled, designed, and facilitated so it’s almost plug-and-play.
Applications are open for mentors for the 2024-25 school year! Please join us for an info session or apply directly.
We're so proud of each of our graduating seniors and of their growth and achievements they've demonstrated over the last three years. We are cheering them on as they all begin their next academic journies to college. The class of 2024 is attending 17 different schools across the country and each student secured significant financial aid support and scholarships.

A Record-Setting CELEBRATE!
This year's CELEBRATE event was one for the books. More than 400 guests gathered together for our 20th Anniversary event. Thanks to our guests and sponsors, we raised more than $530,000 in support of our students! Thank you to everyone who sponsored, made a gift, and joined us for this event. We had a great time hearing from our seniors and celebrating their accomplishments, sharing the Minds Matter spirit, and dancing the night away with all of you.

Welcome, New Board Members!
The 2024-25 school year has many exciting things in store, one of which is voting in the newest (and largest) slate of Board of Directors in MMCO history. Over the past three years the board has grown from eight Directors to 13. Each Board member brings with them unique personal and professional experiences that will be invaluable to the maturation and growth of our chapter. As we grow and professionalize as an organization, our Board of Directors maintain deep a commitment to the governing, financial and strategic success of MMCO! To learn more about each of our board members , keep an eye out for the blog posts!
Gratitude for Our Departing Board Members
Our community extends heartfelt gratitude to four departing Board Members - Kirstin Kirkpatrick, Taylor Portman, Isaac Solano '09, and Ian MacGillivray- for their many years of dedicated service. We are thankful for their advocacy, their partnership, and their love of our students.
