Dan Clark MindJam CEO / Founder
BAFTA nominated Mentor of the Year 2022

At MindJam, our mission is clear: to provide meaningful, compassionate support to young people, helping them to thrive in every aspect of their lives. When I founded MindJam, it was with a simple but powerful belief - that every child deserves to feel understood, valued, and supported in the ways that matter most to them. We are proud to support thousands of young people across the UK, and to work closely with schools and Local Authorities nationally.

My journey in creating MindJam began when I saw how many young people were struggling to find spaces where they could truly be themselves. Traditional systems don’t always meet every child’s needs, and I wanted to build something different — a place where empathy, creativity, and connection come first. By using the tools and interests that inspire young people, such as gaming and technology, we create bridges of trust that allow real growth and learning to happen.

Our dedicated mentors embody the values at the heart of MindJam: empathy, patience, creativity, and respect. They are chosen not only for their skills, but for their ability to connect with young people on a genuine human level. With compassion and understanding, they help young people to build resilience, confidence, and positive pathways for the future. 

I am deeply proud of our team and the positive impact they have on the lives of young people and their families. Thank you for taking the time to explore MindJam. Together, we can nurture potential, foster wellbeing, and create brighter futures.

At MindJam, we source the very best independent mentors who are passionate about gaming and technology and are skilled in connecting with young people. All our mentors are experienced and trained in working with young people with a variety of different backgrounds, including neurodivergent young people, autistic young people and other additional needs such as PDA, ADHD, anxiety, trauma and PTSD.
