#breakthroughnewyork

Breakthrough New York is a unique college access program with a "students teaching students" model that works with students from middle school, through high school to assure they are academically prepared to graduate and get accepted to college.  Breakthrough pairs teaching interns with at-risk students, beginning in sixth grade, and makes a six-year commitment to each participant, with the ultimate goal of removing barriers to college access and breaking the cycle of poverty in low income families.
