Virtual Town Hall
Valued members of the Breakthrough community, we invite you to join our Executive Director Rebecca Duran at a Virtual Town Hall hosted on November 17, 2026, at 9:30 a.m.
Rebecca will provide you an insider’s view of Breakthrough’s new Strategic Plan – Compass 2030. We will discuss key priorities in the plan, including centering college-readiness, increasing support for students to pursue pathways in education, building a thriving alumni engagement network, and enhancing fundraising opportunities.
This Virtual Town Hall will allow us to share how we arrived at Compass 2030, the range of voices that contributed to this plan, and how we will move forward together over the next four years. We will also do our very best to answer any questions you may have during the live Q&A session.
We will follow up with a calendar invitation before this event. If you have any questions please email Priyanka Subramaniam at psubramaniam@breakthroughsv.org.
Sophomore Resume & Mock Interviews Workshop (Volunteer Opportunity)
*Volunteer Opportunity - We are looking for professional volunteers for this event*.
At the Resume Review & Mock Interview workshop, volunteers will review draft resumes and provide valuable feedback, help students understand what employers are looking for, and provide feedback they can incorporate to help them stand out amongst other applicants. Volunteers will also help students practice their interview techniques, identify suggestions to convey their strengths, grow confidence when speaking about themselves, and overcome interview jitters.
If you have any questions, please contact: Volunteer Engagement Coordinator | Anisa Qadir at anisa.qadir@breakthroughsv.org or (408) 634-2353.
