| What is the mission of your organization? | |
| We energize underrepresented aspirational students to enter college with confidence. They are taught and nurtured by service-minded young adults and encouraging families. Our safe and inspiring space activates this transformational community to advance education, equity, and economic mobility in the tri-state.
Breakthrough Cincinnati is a four-year, tuition-free, summer academic program that provides academic enrichment opportunities to high-potential and high-need middle school students and inspires and trains and nurtures a diverse cadre of high school juniors and seniors and college students to become the next generation of teachers. |

| Hello, students!
Breakthrough Cincinnati believes in the power of young people. Everyone who gets involved with Breakthrough definitely gets something out of it – students, teaching fellows, families, community members, volunteers, etc. For 31 years, Breakthrough Cincinnati has helped thousands of Cincinnati students and teachers with college readiness, career readiness, leadership development, community engagement, etc. Rising fifth through eighth graders from over 55 schools in Hamilton County attend a five-week summer learning program where “it’s cool to be smart.” The program is taught by near-peer teaching fellows– high school juniors and seniors as well as undergraduate college students–who aspire to become educators or simply want to serve to create a more just and equitable community. There is a special bond between the teaching fellows and students that creates a fun learning environment – an experience with memories that last a lifetime! Check out our Instagram and Facebook for more information about Breakthrough. When the five-week summer learning program isn’t in session, we’re still doing a lot of planning and prepping for the next summer… along with school-year programming! We’re active on social media and are always willing to answer any questions you have. Join our team of impactful changemakers! We look forward to hearing from you! |
