Empower Students. Grow as an Educator. Transform your Summer.

Are you passionate about education, mentorship, or equity? Join a national movement of high school and college students teaching and inspiring middle school students on their path to college.

As a Breakthrough Houston teacher, you will:

• Teach an academic class (math, science, reading, or writing)
• Lead an elective and activity (like bucket drumming or computer science)
• Mentor first-generation, college-bound students
• Receive training, coaching, and professional development

This is one of the best ways to decide if teaching is for you! The Princeton Review has ranked Breakthrough as a Top Ten summer internship (along with working at the White House and working at MTV). Teach for America has noted that former Breakthrough teachers are accepted to TFA at a much higher rate than regular applicants. Breakthrough Teaching Fellows make friendships that will last a lifetime.
