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.

Inspiring Minds is excited to partner with the Real Skills for Youth Program!

Inspiring Minds is now a proud partner of the Real Skills for Youth program. We will launch a new program- Explorers - in September 2019. Explorers will expose to youth of color and bilingual youth to careers in teaching and learning through a work-based experience, skill-based workshops, and mentoring.

Convened by Inspiring Minds, the partnership brings together Rhode Island College and Providence Public Schools to expose youth to the myriad of career opportunities in the public education system. 30 high school and college youth will be selected for the program in September.

This project was funded in whole or in part through funds received from Real Skills for Youth, an initiative of the Governor’s Workforce Board. View the press release here. https://gwb.ri.gov/governors-workforce-board-approves-real-skills-for-youth-grants-2

More to come on this exciting partnership!
