You took this kid, whose test scores placed in him the bottom 2%, who battled speech impediments and mild dyslexia, and he grows and develops under the care of Breakthrough. He goes on to attend Gulliver, become top broadcaster and news director at the school, President of the Black Student Union, played for Hall of Fame Ray Allen’s basketball team, served on the school’s ethics board for student peers, volunteers with Breakthrough, wins the Principal’s Award at graduation, and was selected as the commencement speaker for his senior class
– that was transformation. It changed his trajectory.

WATCH OUT WORLD. OUR SCHOLARS AND THEIR BIG DREAMS ARE ON THE RISE! Today we join the nation in recognizing College Signing Day and salute our Class of 2023 Breakthrough Miami Scholars for their vision, grit, and commitment. College is a pivotal moment in our Scholars’ leadership journey. Throughout their eight-year Breakthrough experience, our Scholars have built skills, leveled up academically, fostered mentor and mentee relationships, and pursued countless opportunities to breakthrough to new heights. Our Village is with our Scholars by their side as collectively we give dreams the lift to breakthrough to their highest potential. As we celebrate College Decision Day, we invite you to engage with our social media channels as we highlight our Scholars and their dedication, talent, and tireless commitment to excellence.

BETTER MAKE ROOM, THEY’RE COMING THROUGH!
