Breakthrough Greater Boston

Breakthrough Greater Boston Learn. Teach. Inspire. Breakthrough Greater Boston recruits in public sixth grade classrooms in Cambridge and Boston.

Middle School Program: Breakthrough Greater Boston’s acclaimed middle school program is a fun, rigorous, year-round academic program with three components, a summer program, a school-year program, and year-round advocacy. Breakthrough accepts students who are willing to make a six-year commitment to the program, are serious about pursuing the goal of college, and have a demonstrated need. High Sch

ool Program: Students who complete Breakthrough Greater Boston’s Middle School Program enroll in the High School Program, committing to stay on the path to college and benefitting from BTGB’s support each step of the way. Students remain closely tied to the BTGB community and a college-going peer group they built in middle school. The high school program is made up of three program components: Advocacy, Summer Programming, and the College Access Program. Teacher Training Program: Breakthrough trains high-achieving high school and college students to teach in the summer and school-year sessions as part of its unique students-teaching-students model. With guidance and support from Program Directors and experienced professional Mentor Teachers, college and high-school students shoulder the responsibilities of full-time educators as they implement curricula, plan daily lessons, manage student behavior, and commit their time to helping younger students follow in their footsteps on the road to college.

What a night. 💙
Last night, our community came together for the Breakthrough Benefit 2026 to celebrate students, opportunity, and the power of education.

We heard incredible student stories, saw the Breakthrough experience in action, and invited guests into hands-on activities inspired by our classrooms.

The room was filled with joy, connection, and a shared belief in what young people can achieve when they are supported.

Because of this incredible community, we raised meaningful support that will help sustain Breakthrough’s work year-round.

We want to recognize for the incredible work behind-the-scenes that brought the Breakthrough Benefit to life. Your partnership, creativity, and dedication helped create a truly meaningful evening for our community.

To everyone who attended, sponsored, donated, volunteered, and celebrated with us: thank you for believing in our students and the futures they are building.

✨ The impact of this night will continue far beyond the event itself.

🎤 One week from today, student voices will take center stage at Benefit 2026. ✨

At Breakthrough Greater Boston, our students are the heart of everything we do, and this year, two remarkable young people will share stories that reflect the power of opportunity, perseverance, and community.

Their journeys are a reminder that when students are surrounded by support, encouragement, and access to opportunity, they lead, inspire, and create change.

Join us next week for an unforgettable evening celebrating the voices, potential, and future of the Breakthrough community.
