INSPIRING STUDENTS.

ONE PROGRAM. DUAL MISSION.

Breakthrough of Greater Philadelphia helps launch motivated and traditionally underserved middle school students on a path to top choice high schools, setting a critical foundation for postsecondary and career success. Breakthrough also provides pre-professional teacher training to inspire college students to pursue careers in education.

THE BREAKTHROUGH IMPACT

“I’m grateful for the important work that Breakthrough of Greater Philadelphia has been doing for 30 years, helping so many underserved middle school students to succeed in school and in life, and helping college students to grow the numbers of diverse educators. Breakthrough is making a difference!”

- Congressman Dwight Evans 

EXPERIENCE A DAY IN THE LIFE

I encourage every Scholar to embrace this opportunity with an open mind and positive attitude. Step out of your comfort zones, ask questions, and try to engage with the material and each other. Remember, this program is not just about academic learning. It’s about building friendships, developing new skills, and helping us to better understand the world around us.

Aubrey Tolbert, Breakthrough Scholar
