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.

Saturday Session: December 6th

We’re wrapping up the semester with our End of Fall Celebration- Saturday Session. Join us for a joyful day of reflection, learning, and community as guest speakers share their journey through life, education, and self-discovery.

Students have requested a holiday potluck, and we encourage—but don’t require—participants to bring food or snacks to share (no drinks, please). To keep everyone safe, no nuts or foods containing nuts are allowed, and please label other potential allergens (like dairy, gluten, or pork).

Come celebrate a successful semester, connect with your BTC community, and end the year on a high note on December 6th!
