This is my 20th year in education serving as a non-profit administrator, a teacher or a consultant. Breakthrough gave me my start as a teacher all those years ago. It honors the skill, commitment, will, and passion of high school and college undergraduates to teach students. Many programs use the older students as assistants but Breakthrough understands the value of relationships in academics.
On the student side, it is the best program that I have experience with that positively changes the lives of young people. It gives them a sense of themselves as future high school and college students. It deepens their belief in their own dreams and the commitment of their families in them.
It is a special program that anyone interested in schools and children should investigate. There should be no question that Breakthrough is worth your investment.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
person as a teacher, a site director, a mentor teacher and a volunteer.
Ways to make it better...
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
work to diversify the student-aged teaching staff to racially and culturally match the student population. It would require that individuals invest in the program and that the program have the finances to recruit such a staff. Your investment can make that happen.
