Breakthrough Atlanta students are making a meaningful impact beyond the classroom through a year-end service project focused on supporting individuals experiencing homelessness in the Metro Atlanta community.

As the culmination of their participation in Chick-fil-A Leader Academy, nineteen high school juniors led a Hygiene Kit Drive, collecting and assembling essential care items throughout the 2025–2026 school year. Their efforts resulted in hundreds of kits, which were donated to Atlanta Mission. This hands-on initiative transformed compassion into action while deepening students’ understanding of dignity, service, and community responsibility. Breakthrough is proud to be one of more than 1,400 schools nationwide participating in Chick-fil-A Leader Academy, a program designed to develop leadership through real-world impact. Over the course of the year, students strengthened skills in teamwork, communication, and innovation - ultimately demonstrating the power of youth leadership to drive meaningful change in their communities. #TogetherWeBreakthrough #BreakthroughAtlanta #CollegePeriod #studentsuccess #CollegeReady #FutureLeaders #CommunityImpact
