Rhythm 4 Life (R4L) Program Mentor Mission Statement Minds Beyond Measure (MBM), a nonprofit, strives to inspire purpose and passion, to empower and cultivate great minds in children, youth and teachers to improve educational outcomes in New York and developing countries. Background of Our Organization Minds Beyond Measure (MBM), is a nonprofit, newly established in 2019.
