Volunteer Spotlight
Shout out to volunteers from Victory Capital who spent an entire day working hard to refinish over 400 chairs in the auditorium at Citizens Academy Southeast. Thanks to Victory Capital and their employees, Breakthrough students will be able to utilize this great space for years to come. We are lucky to have such dedicated support from our Community Partners like Victory Capital.


Almost 20 volunteers from Progressive Insurance came to Citizens Leadership Academy to participate in the school's annual garden clean up. The volunteers first shared a pizza lunch with the students that they were going to be working with for the day. The group then worked together in the school garden all afternoon, winterizing, cleaning up, and planting bulbs. The highlight was that the students created the lesson for the day which included directions and next steps that the volunteers and students had to follow. Cleveland weather cooperated and it was a beautiful and sunny day. Thank you Progressive!
