Why Breakthru

Erica Arroyo · July 13, 2026

This summer I have had the honor of interning with Breakthru. It has allowed me to see how a real company operates. Breakthru has an innovative vision and actively uses its interns to help better their work. It has been a great pleasure and an amazing experience. Breakthru uses its platform to empower youth community builders. This is an amazing start to your professional career and resume.  

When hiring managers look at a stack of entry-level resumes, standard coursework rarely stands out. They want to see real-world execution. Here is exactly why the Next Collective Ambassador role acts as a massive resume accelerator: 

Content and Campaign Experience: You aren’t just learning public relations, advertising, or marketing theory in a classroom; you are executing it. You will gain hands-on experience utilizing digital creation tools, tracking metrics, and driving measurable engagement. Being able to write, “Increased community mission participation by X% using targeted social strategies,” is exactly what top-tier agency recruiters look for.

Community Management & Digital Strategy: Modern brands live and die by their digital subcultures. By managing a digital hub on Breakthru, you prove that you understand how to cultivate audience loyalty, moderate discussions, and keep a community actively mobilized.

The Power of “Grit” and Leadership: Stepping up as an ambassador demonstrates immense personal drive. It showcases your ability to work autonomously, manage projects from inception to execution, and mentor peers. This hands-on responsibility proves you possess the executive stamina to lead real-world campaigns.

The Bottom Line

Breakthru is empowering young people to turn daily screen time into professional advancement. By joining the Next Collective as a Student Ambassador, you aren’t just taking a job—you are joining a network of innovative creators and stepping into a sandbox of digital strategy.

Ready to elevate your experience and build a resume that commands attention? Explore what they do at Breakthru and take the next step toward leadership with the Next Collective.
