FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Two-Year Fellowship Program
Unique Opportunity to Provide both Direct Service to Children/Youth and Work on Special Projects:
The FAO Schwarz Family Foundation Fellowship program is a two-year Fellowship program for recent college graduates designed to train future leaders in the education and youth development field and to strengthen high-quality youth-serving organizations. The Fellows will work within established youth development and educational organizations providing both direct service to children/youth as well as initiating new projects, research, or programs that may involve public policy, organizational replication or sustainability efforts, or other new initiatives to strengthen the host organization. At the same time, it is the Foundation’s hope that the Fellows receive experiences, training, and mentorship that launch them on successful careers as leaders in the youth development and educational field.
The FAO Schwarz Fellowship position at Breakthrough of Greater Philadelphia has been filled, but please read about other available FAO Fellowships.

Teacher Reflections
Three weeks in to the summer at Breakthrough, I knewthat teaching was where my heart lay, and that I would be a teacher. There is simply nothing that compares to working with kids in an educational setting: being immersed in their passion for learning, their creativity, and their intelligence was truly a high point of my life. And from the wonderful, dynamic co-teachers to the passionate site directors and ever-patient teacher coaches, the Breakthrough community is an exceptional one.
