This Super Saturday Breakthrough 7th graders welcomed a special guest to our Career Conversations series. Mr. John’s is a music engineer who is a Philly native and a graduate of the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts. He has worked with award winning musicians and spoke about his path from middle school to where he is now!

This Super Saturday, our Breakthrough 8th graders were visited by two engineers from Bohler Engineering in Philadelphia! Cornelius and Mathew talked with students about their pathway to becoming engineers and what projects they have worked on in the local neighborhood! We believe the sky is the limit for our Breakthrough students!

Let's celebrate Breakthrough of Greater Philadelphia today—on #GivingTuesday! Please consider a gift to support educational opportunity and enrichment. With Thanks! At Breakthrough of Greater Philadelphia, we are grateful for the support of all of our donors, volunteers, and teachers this holiday season. And, of course, we are grateful to our students for their dedication and love of learning! Looking Ahead! We are excited about this upcoming academic year and summer program—all made possible by our donors. Every year, we are able to support over 100 middle schoolers, help student teachers grow and thrive, and serve as an educational home for families from throughout Philadelphia. What Breakthrough Students Have to Say! “Breakthrough has prepared me in many ways - from confidence to never giving up.” “It prepares you for more than just school.” “When I was struggling, I was told by teachers and students never to give up. Now I am a Breakthrough graduate.” Donate to Breakthrough Today - #GivingTuesday! Link in Bio #givingtuesday
