Our mission is to provide every student in Indianapolis with access to a high-quality, world-class education.
About us
The Mind Trust is an Indianapolis-based education nonprofit striving to provide every Indianapolis student the opportunity to attend a great school. Since its launch in 2006, The Mind Trust has established a national model for city-based education change and positioned Indianapolis among the best cities nationally to overhaul its education system so that every student can attend a great school. Our work centers on growing great schools, supporting great schools, and engaging the community. The Mind Trust offers unique opportunities for talented social innovators and education entrepreneurs to drive change in K-12 education in Indianapolis: • Innovation School Fellowship: The Mind Trust recruits excellent leaders to launch Innovation Network Schools, which present a rare opportunity to drive meaningful education change because of their access to resources and freedoms. They operate within school districts and can access district buildings and services, but they are guaranteed the same freedoms as public charter schools. Innovation School Fellows receive 1-2 years of salary, healthcare and benefits to develop their school models, plus office space, counsel and other critical supports. • Education Entrepreneur Fellowship: The Mind Trust attracts social innovators to Indianapolis to launch cutting-edge nonprofits that provide great schools with critical supports. Examples include Summer Advantage USA, which provides students with critical summer learning; Teach Plus, which creates pathways to retain quality teachers; Enroll Indy, an easily navigable, citywide enrollment system; and more.
