Hear from our alumni Teaching Fellows about how their Breakthrough experience impacted their careers in education.
“I applied to be a Breakthrough Teaching Assistant this summer, because as a middle school student I loved the program. Breakthrough is so inclusive, the people are amazing and it really does bring you out of your comfort zone. I had such a meaningful experience and I wanted to be able to provide that same thing for the middle school students. As a senior and current Breakthrough College Bound student, I am grateful for the continued support that I receive, and I will forever cherish the opportunity to give back to students what was given to me.”
