Destination Breakthrough has officially reached its final stop, but the journey continues! 🌍🧳

Over the past 6 weeks, our Scholars have explored new ideas, discovered new passions, built friendships, and grown into confident learners and leaders. Our Scholars strengthened their literacy, math, STEM, and critical-thinking skills, explored future careers, participated in engaging electives, and experienced unforgettable field trips.

Our Summer Institute provided Breakthrough Miami Scholars an opportunity to challenge themselves academically, stay active through physical electives, and develop the confidence to lead, collaborate, and catch their dreams. Along the way, our Scholars have been inspired by AmeriCorps Teaching Fellows, Changemakers, and mentors.

As our Scholars head into a new school year, they're equipped with stronger academic skills, renewed confidence, and a strong belief that their futures are filled with possibility.

Although our 2026 Summer Institute has come to an end, the lessons learned, memories made, and Breakthroughs discovered will travel with our Scholars wherever they go next. ✈️
