Breakthrough Austin

Breakthrough builds a path to college starting in middle school for low income students who will be first generation college graduates.

Breakthrough’s program combines individualized case management with extended learning time over ten-plus years of direct service.

Beginning in middle school, Breakthrough addresses fundamental gaps in students’ skills and resources by providing academic enrichment, mentoring, family involvement, leadership and service, test preparation, and clear information on navigating school bureaucracy, financial aid, and the college admissions process.
