Review for Breakthrough New York, New York, NY, USA
As someone who's volunteered for several education non-profits, I have no reservations saying that BTNY is the most impactful one of all. Breakthrough's staff trains its high school tutors, college summer teaching interns and adult volunteers expertly and thoroughly, ingraining in them a passion for teaching and the skills necessary to teach effectively. Perhaps most importantly, BTNY is 100%, always, all about the kids. Breakthrough staff members and volunteers get to know each child individually, and sustain meaningful relationships over the kids' 6-year commitment. Unprompted, BTNY students will often say that they are part of the "Breakthrough family." As a volunteer, I feel this way as well.
