| Abstract: | This article focuses on the vital role of volunteers in Minds Matter NYC, an organization that supports low-income students in preparing for college. For over 35 years, volunteers—including mentors, college coaches, and writing advisers—have provided academic and personal guidance to students, helping them navigate the college admission process. The article highlights the experience of Angel Rendon, a former student and current attorney who now volunteers as a team leader, illustrating how mentorship offers students insight into career possibilities. Executive Director Cosette Gutierrez emphasizes that volunteers of varying time commitments are essential to the organization’s success and that the dedication of students inspires ongoing volunteer engagement.
