Breakthrough pushed me out of my comfort zone and helped me become an amazing leader in my community. I am now the president of Black Student Union [at the University of Southern California] and I have taught and volunteered at Breakthrough for the past 3 summers.

Breakthrough is an exciting and challenging journey that starts the summer before seventh grade and continues through high school and college. 

Each spring, students in 6th and 7th grade throughout the greater Sacramento, Rancho Cordova, and Elk Grove region, are invited to apply to join our 6-year program. As a Breakthrough student you will participate in:

  • Three outrageously fun Academic Summer Programs

  • Free school-year tutoring

  • Monthly Super Saturday Events

  • High School Advising and College Prep Counseling

As a Breakthrough student, all of these support activities and the associated supplies are offered to you at NO COST!



Breakthrough Sacramento uses the power of education to radically change the lives of Sacramento’s youth in under-resourced schools, and inspires students who desire to become teachers.

Our Impact

Breakthrough Sacramento believes in the power of education to radically change lives, families, and communities. Students join Breakthrough before 7th grade and receive ongoing support through high school completion, while inspiring committed, talented, high school and college students from around the country to teach our students and to pursue careers in education. As a six-year program, Breakthrough mentors and tutors students to successfully navigate high school, assist them with college counseling as they make their college selection, and works to ensure they thrive in college and beyond.

 
 
A growing body of knowledge shows that what happens to students between the ages of 10 to 14 determines not only their success in school, but success in life as well.

It’s really good to be interactive with the students and be a part of their education.

I like our relationships with students, how we’re around the same age and are both learning at the same time.
