Breakthrough students have the drive, the talent, and the brains to get to college.
What they’re missing is YOU!
Breakthrough Collaborative’s 35 sites are looking for high school students and undergraduates to teach bright, ambitious and underserved middle school students.
You’ll be asked to plan and teach your own class under the guidance of
professional educators. You’ll work long hours, push yourself like you never have before and make a genuine difference in the lives of tomorrow’s urban leaders.
Teaching with Breakthrough is the premier pre-professional teaching experience anywhere, and the most challenging internship of any kind available to high school students and undergraduates in the United States.
This summer, do something real.
Teach Breakthroughs.
