Are you an experienced writer passionate about helping a new generation of high school students achieve their college dreams and fulfill their goals? If so, become a writing coach with Minds Matter - you'll work directly with a 1-3 bright sophomore students to develop their essay writing skills!

Minds Matter is an organization dedicated to preparing motivated and bright students from low-income families to succeed in college. We work with students beginning in their sophomore year of high school all the way through their graduation from high school, both on academics (test prep, writing) and on life skills (time management, financial literacy, leadership). The vast majority of our students will be the first from their families to attend college, and we strive to give them the tools they need to thrive in college and in life.

As a writing coach, you will work with the same few students as they progress through their sophomore year writing module in October, November, and January. You will peer review their work, giving them tips on content, style, and structure.

Commitment required:
Attendance - 6-8 sessions, Saturday mornings (9:30-noon), in October, November, and January
