Inspiring Minds

Inspiring Minds is a dynamic, award-winning educational nonprofit that closes the achievement gap. The organization is dedicated to enabling our city’s public school students to succeed in school – and build a good foundation for their future. We do this by recruiting, training and supporting volunteers to work with students in small groups during the school day.

It's the last day of school for Providence Public Schools! Thank you to our 500 volunteers, 22 schools, 90 teachers and 18 coaches for making this year so successful! Thanks to you, 1,300 students had a well-trained caring adult tutor/mentor support them in school!

While the 17-18 school year may be over, our work is picking up. We're developing new partnerships with higher ed, affinity groups, and corporations. We're working on our new volunteer management database. We also have 24 rising Kindergartners joining us this summer at the KidsBridge Summer Learning Program!

Already thinking about next year? We are too! Our current volunteers will receive an email invite to complete an application in July. If you haven't volunteered yet and would like to, visit our website contact us page and send us a message! We'll add you to the email list to receive an application. https://inspiringmindsri.org/contact/
