HISTORY
As the city of Atlanta was preparing to welcome athletes from around the world to the 1996 Summer Olympics, the organization that would become Breakthrough Atlanta was preparing for its own milestone: to welcome 40 motivated middle school students from underrepresented communities to begin a transformative learning experience. Twenty-five years later and Breakthrough Atlanta has touched the lives of thousands of students and their families — and hundreds of future teachers — through life changing educational experiences.
