Breakthrough New York is a tuition-free, ten-year program committed
to helping high-potential students from low-income families achieve
economic mobility through the transformative power of education.
Beginning in middle school we provide the academic preparation,
guidance, and mentoring our students need to apply to and succeed
at competitive high schools. In high school, we focus on skill
development, application assistance, and enrichment opportunities to
prepare students to gain entry to and succeed at rigorous four-year
colleges. We support students during college to ensure graduation and
career readiness. Throughout the program, we build a lasting
community that leads to an active alumni network. Our near-peer
model inspires our teaching fellows and mentors to pursue careers in
education. We accomplish our mission through a team of engaged
and committed staff and stakeholders.
