Teach breakthroughs. Change lives.

 

Are you ready for the most meaningful internship of your life?

Along with MTV, Google and the White House, Breakthrough has repeatedlty featured in the Princeton Review's List of Top 10 Internships for teens and college students.

 

Breakthrough’s teaching internships offer an incredible opportunity for talented college and high school students to inspire and be inspired by 7th, 8th and 9th grade students with high expectations and big dreams.
