Breaking the cycle of poverty through the power of education by serving students from underrepresented backgrounds starting in middle school through college graduation.
HELPING UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS IN EDUCATION
Breakthrough San Juan Capistrano supports students from middle school to college graduation through tuition-free, college access programming. By providing academic enrichment opportunities and support, we are changing the trajectory for students whose backgrounds are underrepresented in higher education.
Nearly all Breakthrough SJC students are from low-income backgrounds and will be the first in their families to graduate from college.
