Embracing the unique asset of Breakthrough Miami as an embedded service-learning partnership, our student-led Race To Breakthrough is not only a global virtual pep rally to celebrate the new school year programming, but also a powerful vehicle for leadership development among all stakeholders, including even the youngest students.
