Breakthrough Greater Boston
This year marks Breakthrough Greater Boston's 30th Anniversary! Founded in 1992 by MacArthur Genius Awardee Dr. Angela Duckworth, Breakthrough Greater Boston (BTGB) transforms urban education for students and teachers through its unique Students Teaching Students model. Through six years of intensive, tuition-free out-of-school-time programming for traditionally underserved middle and high school students in Cambridge, Boston and Somerville. BTGB changes students’ academic trajectories and supports them along the path to college. At the same time, BTGB develops the next generation of urban educators by recruiting and training cohorts of diverse, high-achieving college students to serve as Teaching Fellows and near-peer role models to BTGB students. Since 1992, BTGB has supported the success of over 2,500 students and Teaching Fellows. 94% of our seniors have matriculated to college and 82% have persisted through their undergraduate years. On average, more than 75% of our graduating Teaching Fellows have continued in the field of education.
