Hiring Spring 2018 Volunteers to work with Middle and High Schoolers!

Breakthrough of Greater Philadelphia is hiring volunteers for spring 2018!!

• Receive curriculum, teaching training at the start of the semester, and instructional support throughout the semester
• Serve as a role-model for students and develop mentor-mentee relationships
