Empowering youth,transforming minds & building purpose 

Home: About

At Breaking Barriers, we refuse to let limited access define anyone’s future. We stand in the gap for low- and middle-income youth by providing transformative SEL programs, and coaching that restores both confidence and vision. Where systems fall short, we rise—building where others overlook and empowering those who are too often left behind. We are not just a program; we are a movement. Our mission is to raise up leaders who know their worth, embrace their calling, and step boldly into their purpose—creating lasting change in their lives and in the communities around them.

THE Educator Hub

Teachers report that integrating SEL boosts academic achievement by 11 percentile points. The Educator Hub empowers you with ready-to-use tools that support students’ emotional development right in the classroom—because confident, emotionally aware students are more ready to learn.

The
family

Hub

Over 70% of students facing emotional struggles show declines in academic performance and behavior. That’s why our Family Hub equips parents with tools to nurture emotional well-being at home—because when kids feel supported, they learn better. Strong families build strong learners.

 

The school hub

Schools that adopt school-wide SEL see improved attendance, test scores, and school climate. In fact, students in SEL programs show 27% more improvement in academic outcomes. The School Hub provides a complete, research-backed framework to help your campus thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.
