GENERAL JOB DESCRIPTION

WHAT IS BREAKTHROUGH?

Breakthrough Cincinnati—Where it is cool to be smart.

As a pioneer in education reform, Breakthrough is more than an organization. We are a nationwide movement, tackling the achievement and opportunity gap with a groundbreaking approach. Through our summer and school-year programs at over 24 national sites, we increase academic opportunity for highly motivated, underserved middle-and high school students, putting them on the path to college. 

Breakthrough Cincinnati has been serving the local community for nearly 30 years, and currently has three sites to meet greater needs: 

1. Cincinnati Country Day School

2. University of Cincinnati

3. North College Hill

Breakthrough Cincinnati—We believe in the power of young people.

BTC serves students and families who occupy numerous identities. Our community includes students and families who are Black, Latinx, and of other underrepresented populations, LGBTQ+ and gender non-conforming students and families, students and families of various socioeconomic statuses, etc. Students from under-resourced communities are more successful when inspired by teachers with similar backgrounds, and our nation is facing a shortage of teachers, especially from diverse backgrounds. During our summer programming, Breakthrough provides a teaching fellowship residency that offers relevant, real-world training to a diverse group of high school and college-aged students, inspiring many to develop an interest in education careers. This mutually beneficial relationship creates a generation of inspired students and a pipeline of experienced leaders.
