Board of Directors

PAul Finnegan

Paul Finnegan has been part of the Breakthrough Community since 2010.  His Board service is motivated by his desire to give back to a community that has helped so much in his own positive growth.

Breakthrough matters to Paul because he has experienced positive changes in his life as a result of the programs at Breakthrough.

David Campione began his Breakthrough journey in 2016.  His desire to join the Board of Directors was motivated by the idea of giving back to ensure that the Breakthrough experience of love, compassion, discovery, and growth is available to others to bring healing, understanding, and hope into their lives.

 For David the Breakthrough experience changed his life in a positive way providing the resources and environment to pursue a balanced and healthy adult self.
