Breakthrough SJC is a year-round, tuition-free educational program for underserved youth attending Marco Forster Middle School in San Juan Capistrano. The goal of this program is to increase the educational opportunities for motivated, low-income middle school students so that they can realize their potential to excel in high school and go on to college, breaking the cycle of poverty for their families. The program focuses on the whole family, not the individual student or academics alone. The program is also designed to encourage talented high school and college students to pursue careers in education and to teach in communities with the greatest need.
