Its that time of year…when Breakthrough seeks out motivated middle school students with big dreams, to enroll our next class of future first-generation college students! Acceptance letters are out and calls of excitement from parents are coming in. More than 280 6th graders from Austin, Manor and Del Valle ISDs will begin their journey with Breakthrough this summer.
The Breakthrough Summer Academy is a student’s first Breakthrough experience. Together, this new class will combat the impact of summer learning loss, while building enthusiasm for high school and college and nurturing important relationships with peers and AmeriCorps Summer Teaching Fellows.
Their 12-year journey to becoming first-generation college graduates begins now. Welcome class of 2026!
