Breakthrough Charter School’s vision statement really got to us:
“Our vision is to grow from serving 1,100 students to 7,000 students across 20 urban campuses by 2020, preparing 100% of our students to graduate from college and become engaged, responsible citizens.”
At their current state, it seems they are well on their way. According to Cleveland.com, Breakthrough Charter Schools received $2 million for expansion in December. Now they will be able to open four additional facilities, two of which they are opening next year.
In addition, their answer to why they love working there is also very powerful:
“We love working here because we have the opportunity to impact the lives of more than 1,000 inner-city kids, and the future of our city. In Cleveland, more than 38,000 children attend failing schools. Every day at our schools, our students dispel the notion that urban students can’t excel.”
By donating, you can help Breakthrough Charter Schools continue to open new schools and keep improving the lives of Cleveland youth.
