Two weeks ago, we had the honor of hosting @americorps Chief of Staff Mark Lloyd, AmeriCorps VISTA Director, Brendan Murphy, and @onestarfoundation Vice President of Service & Volunteerism, Jaclyn Kolar at our Awty International School program site. We were thrilled to introduce them to the AmeriCorps Members who make our work possible. Our summer Members showed up every single day to keep our middle schoolers learning, growing, and excited about school through hands-on academic enrichment. This visit was a highlight for our whole team, and visits like this are a reminder of how much we can accomplish together.

Thank you for visiting, Mark, Brendan, and Jaclyn. We're grateful, inspired, and looking forward to what's ahead with AmeriCorps' partnership. by @breakthroughhouston

✨ This past weekend, @breakthroughhouston invited DiscoverU to be part of their Annual Junior Symposium Presentations!

We had the opportunity to celebrate students like Melissa, Sofia, and Zora, who made the most of their summers by participating in incredible learning experiences with support from DiscoverU.

🌟 **Melissa** attended **Salon Camp** @thelooksalonhouston **Wonderworks** @wonderworks_hou
💻 **Sofia** participated in **Learn2Earn Tech Talk** with @compudopt and the **Bank of Dallas** program with @dallasfed
🌎 **Zora** took part in @thewoodsproject and @experimentabroad

Through DiscoverU, these students received support with finding programs, completing applications, securing financial aid, and navigating travel logistics - making opportunities like these possible.

A huge thank you to @breakthroughhouston for inviting us to celebrate the accomplishments of their students and share how DiscoverU can continue supporting them on their educational journeys.

🎉 DiscoverU is now open to all Houston high school students! If you're ready to explore exciting summer opportunities, we're here to help every step of the way.

📲 Visit the DiscoverU Student Portal or send us a DM to learn more!

Earlier this month, our 2026 Teaching Fellows completed a week of intensive preparation, community building, and learning what it means to be a Breakthrough Houston Teaching Fellow and our Awty Teaching Fellows finished O-Week by giving back.

Our Awty team spent their Staff Service Day volunteering at the Furniture Bank, connecting with one another outside the classroom and grounding themselves in the community they're here to serve.

Last month, our College Completion team hosted their 2nd annual Mental Health Awareness Workshop 💙

This year, the team opened the doors to College Bound students, and the conversations that followed? Priceless.

We asked students: “What part of the workshop did you find most meaningful?” and here’s what they said:

💬 “It’s great to know I’m not the only one that felt the way I did about freshman year.”
💬 “Hearing that others were dealing with the same things — even in different stages of life.”
💬 “Talking to people older than me (college kids)”

In case you missed it! Our first Inside Breakthrough Houston webinar featured College Bound senior Abraham Zepeta sharing his journey from a middle school classroom to Harvard University.

Abraham reflected on the mentors, community, and long-term support that helped shape his path to college. His story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when students are surrounded by opportunity and encouragement. We can’t wait to follow Abraham’s next chapter as he journeys through college!

To hear Abraham’s full story and the community he built along the way.

At Breakthrough, joy is part of how we show up for students and for each other.

During our February staff meeting, our team paused for “rollercoaster kudos,” one of the small gestures that celebrates our people and keeps our culture strong.

Because the joyful learning starts with us 🎢 by @breakthroughhouston

Double the support, double the future ⭐📚

Meet Armando and Everardo, two of our hardworking 7th grade student-athletes who are part of both Mission Success and @breakthroughhouston — a partnership that gives them multiple layers of academic and personal support.

Through both programs, Armando and Everardo receive the guidance, tutoring, and enrichment they need to prepare for advanced classes, succeed in selective private high schools, and ultimately reach top colleges across the country. Our shared goal? To walk with students from 6th grade all the way to college — and for Mission Success, even six years beyond as they launch into adulthood.

We’re proud to collaborate with Breakthrough to make sure every student has access to the resources, opportunities, and community they deserve. The journey is long, but they never walk it alone 💙✨
