I have been associated with Breakthrough Silicon Valley for many years. The relationships that they build with students and families is phenomenal. It is the secrete sauce that makes them so successful. I have been in education for twenty-six years and no other non profit supports first time college going students better then Breakthrough Silicon Valley!

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.
