“I enjoyed getting to work with a small number of students because I really felt like I could give each student personalized learning plans.”

WANT TO TEACH?

Breakthrough Louisville recruits creative and hard-working undergraduates and high school students (17+) each summer to teach math or language arts to talented but under-resourced middle school students. This opportunity is available to applicants with both a passion for working with students and social justice. Our Fellows must be comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative work environment and be open to our diverse student body. We always seek out Fellows who come from diverse life experiences and who can be role models for our students.

APPLICATIONS FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR ARE DUE MAY 1.
