-Organization Description:
Breakthrough Twin Cities prepares students for college success and cultivates the next generation of educators. BTC is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit with three sites in the Twin Cities: Mounds Park Academy (MPA), Central High School in Saint Paul (SPC), and Chaska High School through Eastern Carver County Schools (ECC). Students in our middle school program attend three summers of academic enrichment where they take classes in math, science, literature, and social studies and prepare for their six-year path to college with BTC. Students are taught by a diverse faculty of Teaching Fellows: college and high school students exploring the field of education with training and support from Breakthrough. Middle school students attend Saturday programming throughout the school year to continue building their skills, habits, and resumes to become successful high school students. Students matriculate into the College Bound program (grades 9-12) where they receive targeted support for each grade of high school. College Bound students also attend programming throughout the school year and will receive support from this position. Students complete the program by working one-on-one with a college counselor in 11 th and 12 th grades, with 99% graduating from high school and getting accepted into college.
