Breakthrough Twin Cities (BTC) is seeking short-term volunteers of all professional backgrounds for their spring selection season. The BTC Student Selection Committee works to select a class of 50 students from the 200+ Metro area 6th graders who typically apply to join Breakthrough. The BTC Teacher Selection Committee works to select a cohort of summer teaching interns from the pool of about 150 college and high school applicants who compete for the rigorous summer internship.
Breakthrough Twin Cities would love to engage more members of the MPA community in these committees. Committee members are provided detailed instructions and rubrics to evaluate applicants, so individuals from all variety of professional backgrounds are invited to consider this opportunity.
