The month of April marks the commencement of the Harvard Global Month of Service. Sponsored by the Harvard Club of Miami and the Harvard Black Alumni Association of South Florida, the initiative is seated in the institution’s fundamental values embodied in the words found on the Harvard school seal, “VE RI TAS”.
Breakthrough Miami has the great fortune of incorporating the Harvard Alums into several projects in the month of April. Some of the projects include community service projects in the West Grove, tutorial sessions on Breakthrough Saturdays, and career and college workshops for College Bound students.
Breakthrough Miami is a program birthed from Ransom’s core belief; the mark of a quality education is rooted in service to community. The program’s mission is to inspire and prepare talented, motivated middle school students to enter and thrive in top college preparatory high school programs and graduate from college. Equally, the program inspires high school and college students to practice educational advocacy by providing teaching internships. The organization is ecstatic about the Harvard Alums involvement with the program and look to forge a permanent relationship with its constituents.
Marilyn J. Holifield, Esq of Holland and Knight LLP played a key role in bridging the service initiative with Breakthrough Miami. Marilyn and her law firm have been unwavering supporters of the Breakthrough program. The formal kick-off for the Harvard Global Month of Service will take place at Ransom Everglades upper school on March 28 at 6:00 pm.
