Why Breakthrough
I first joined Breakthrough of Greater Philadelphia in 2004 as executive director. I came because I fell in love with Breakthrough -- the mission and methods of the organization. Nearly 20 years later, I am still involved. The program addresses critical needs, is super-effective at doing so, is financially efficient, and is full of joy.
