Breakthrough Silicon Valley launches talented but underserved middle school students on the path to college, while at the same time inspiring high school and college students to become educators. While ambitious in our goals, BTSV works: 97% of BTSV graduates are accepted into four-year colleges (through the class of 2019) and 87% of BTSV Teaching Fellows (2017-19) are inspired to pursue a career in education as a result of their summer experience. The Sr. Coordinator of College Access Programs (SCCAP) takes charge of planning and implementing Breakthrough SV programs for its 9th and 10th grade students to ensure they are prepared for academic success in college. The SCCAP works closely with students as they navigate the high school years, and holds students to high academic, social, and emotional learning standards. The SCCAP consistently advises students and families throughout the school year, introducing the ins and outs to college majors and potential careers, and ensures students are on track for college through the high school transition years through workshops, field trips, and engagement activities.
