Breakthrough Philadelphia holds visitor’s days
Breakthrough of Greater Philadelphia is a six-year academic program that builds a path from middle school to college for low-income students from Philadelphia’s public schools. Breakthrough also inspires talented high school and college students to become educators and engaged citizens by giving them responsibility for teaching in the program.
Breakthrough’s students, teachers, staff and board members welcome visitors during the month of July to see its six-week academic summer program in action. Discover Breakthrough 2009 Visitors Days provide an opportunity to meet the remarkable 7th and 8th grade students who are aiming for college with the help of Breakthrough’s intensive academic support program, and to meet the teachers — college students headed for careers in teaching who gain experience, mentoring, and confidence as Breakthrough summer teachers.
This year’s Visitors Days will take place from 9:30-10:30am on Wednesday, July 8th at Germantown Friends School, July 15th at St. Joseph’s University, and July 22nd at Grover Washington Middle School. For details and to register, email Jeanean Mohr at development@breakthroughphilly.org or call 215-951-2398.
