Breakthrough Austin

Are you looking for an exciting reason to stay in Austin this summer? Check out Breakthrough Austin, a local nonprofit organization that focuses on getting first generation college students the skills they need to be successful before, during, and after college. As a Breakthrough Teaching Fellow, you will be in charge of developing and delivering lessons to a class of about 10 middle school aged students. You will work closely with an Instructional Coach from an Austin-area school, and on a team with other college students from across the country. This is a paid internship, you will be a quarter time AmeriCorps member (and receive an education award upon completion of the program), and there is inexpensive housing provided by the program should you need it. The application is February 23rd so get started today!
