About Breakthrough Houston

Breakthrough Houston (EIN 83-0924608) is a Houston-based education nonprofit that combines academic enrichment for rising middle- and high-school students with programs that recruit, train, and support early-career teachers. The organization operates summer and school-year programming, College Bound supports, and Teaching Fellow placements that aim to increase college access and grow a diverse local teaching workforce. In recent years Breakthrough Houston has published annual impact reports (2022–2025), expanded program scale, and reported fiscal growth to support its dual mission; the organization serves a predominantly students-of-color, low-income student population and runs partnership-based programs with local schools and community organizations.
