Breakthrough San Francisco

“It provided full-time teaching experience for a relatively short period of time (9 weeks), which allowed me to explore the teaching profession to see if it was the right fit for me. The other teachers and administration were incredibly supportive and it was great to work with a staff that was passionate about education reform. The students themselves were highly motivated and excited to learn.”

“Being a San Francisco native, working at BTSF showed me a whole new side of SF education. I got to work with students from all different schools; charter, Catholic, public, and private. It was inspiring to see students of all different backgrounds, neighborhoods, races, religions, etc. all gather together everyday for the same purpose. Each of these students made the exact same commitment to Breakthrough so that they could get to college and receive an education that no one could take away from them. Even if other elements in their lives are unstable, Breakthrough provides an unfaltering community that these students can fall back on, and I was so honored to have been let into this community this summer.”
