| "I believe in my long years as a teacher, an educator and a superintendent of schools, that I have not seen a better program for many of our minority under-represented youth" Ramon C. Cortines Former Assistant Secretary of Education | "The creative and driven atmosphere of Breakthrough is contagious. The program is academically serious, yet promotes learning in an engaging environment that compels everyone involved to give it their all" Brice Dobler Former Breakthrough Cincinnati Teacher |
| "The Breakthrough formula is simple. Take a community that believes in children, add young people who will give their time to change the world, and throw in a delightful combination of kids at the most vulnerable time of their lives-middle school. And then, set deliriously high expectations for everyone involved - for the community to give more than seemed possible, for the teachers to work harder than was dreamed necessary, and for the kids to lean than seemed available. It works, It is wonderful. It is Breakthrough Laura Noyes, Former Director, Breakthrough Sacramento |
