Mission Statement
Breakthrough Fort Worth provides academic enrichment for high achieving public middle school students from under-served backgrounds. We empower students with the skills to enter rigourous college preparatory high schools. The program encourages talented high school and college students to explore careers in education.
Description
Breakthrough Fort Worth is a tuition-free, six-year, year-round academic enrichment program for public school students. Our program, which includes academic summer sessions, year-round tutoring and mentoring, and college counseling, instills in young people the belief that college is accessible, that it is cool to be smart, and that learning can be fun. At Breakthrough, younger students look up to their teachers--who are all high-school and college students themselves! Breakthrough empowers young people to make a difference in their own lives and others.
