Project Breaking Barriers exists to disrupt cycles of poverty by equipping youth from single-parent and low-income households with the access, skills, and support needed to thrive. Through immersive mentorship, cross-industry programming, and strategic partnerships, we prepare students to explore high-impact career pathways, build leadership skills, and pursue higher education with purpose and confidence.  

Our Vision

We envision a future where every young person, regardless of income or family structure, has the opportunity, tools, and confidence to thrive in high-impact careers. Our goal is to break generational cycles of poverty by transforming untapped potential into empowered leadership through exposure, immersive early career development, education, life-skills management, and equity. 

Inspiring Future Leaders

Empowerment through Mentorship

At Project Breaking Barriers, mentorship is a lifeline. We connect young people with mentors who see them, listen to them, and believe in what they’re capable of becoming. These aren’t surface-level connections, they’re real relationships built through honest conversation, immersive experiences, and opportunities like job shadowing that show students what’s possible beyond the classroom. Our mentors are industry experts who show up with more than advice, they bring their own journeys, setbacks, and breakthroughs to the table.  They empower students to confront challenges, embrace their worth, and forge extraordinary paths they never knew existed.  Every student deserves a direct link to their aspirations. We create that connection by immersing them in real industries, providing hands-on experience, and offering precise guidance. This direct engagement not only builds skills but fuels confidence, empowering them to seize opportunities and forge careers they once only imagined.  

Hands-On Learning Workshops

Forget the sidelines, Project Breaking Barriers throws participants directly into the game, connecting them with the pulse of real industries. Our workshops are less about lessons and more about launchpads, where curiosity explodes into action. Here, they're not merely absorbing information; they're building actual projects, testing innovative ideas, and pitching bold solutions. Every challenge becomes a crucible, forging resilience and unveiling hidden talents. This direct engagement, coupled with dedicated mentorship, empowers them to discover their unique purpose, equipping them with the practical experience and profound self-belief to not just participate in the future, but to define it on their own terms.

Community Collaboration for Change

Collaboration isn’t just a strategy for us, it’s the heartbeat behind everything we do. 

The power of connection is the ultimate force multiplier, the invisible energy driving every breakthrough. We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the very pulse of our community: dynamic leaders, innovative local businesses, dedicated schools, compassionate religious groups, and mission-aligned organizations. By actively braiding our unique talents, leveraging our combined assets, and honoring the complexities of our shared histories, we are constructing something far more expansive than any single initiative. We are meticulously designing a  ecosystem  of consistent support and tailored opportunity, ensuring every student is met precisely at their point of need, then empowered to thrive.  This is how we reshape destinies, together, one student at a time .

The Heart of Action: Our Volunteers

 Volunteers are the undeniable soul of our mission. They are the selfless force that shows up, driven not by applause, but by a deep conviction in young people and the profound impact of our work. Whether they're mentoring, lending a hand at events, or simply being a steady, reliable presence, our volunteers are the catalysts who empower participants to gain confidence, discover their path, and forge genuine connections.    Their true power isn't about knowing everything, but about their unconditional presence, their empathetic ear, their consistent commitment, and the silent reassurance that someone truly cares. When members of the community dedicate their time, they don't just participate; they become an indispensable force within our shared endeavor to construct something truly impactful and lasting.  


This journey is one of deep exchange, where each person departs not as they came, but transformed by the connections and experiences they've shared.
