Saturday Session Information
School year sessions are an important part of Breakthrough Twin Cities’ six-year commitment to help your student get to college! At Saturday sessions we seek to complement what your student is learning in school through supportive community-building, social-emotional learning, experiential learning opportunities, and professional skill development.
October Saturday Session
Happy October Breakthrough!
Our next Saturday session is October 5th. Students will practice giving feedback and making requests in a constructive, effective way, and have the chance to email their teachers with their new communication skills. 11th and 12th graders will have separate workshops on financial aid and the college search process. As usual, we will also offer YO-Time activities, including optional homework help for students. Be sure to bring your homework materials and take advantage of this opportunity! Contact Simon Lee slee@breakthroughtwincities.org with questions. Thanks!
