Joshua Salazar was born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaii, and moved to San Jose, CA to pursue his college education. He attended Menlo College, where he received a Bachelor's degree in Marketing and Human Resources Management.

Inspired by the ability to make a big impact on a small campus, Joshua quickly got involved with various student life activities and leadership positions. As a Student Government Vice President, his responsibilities expanded to include community building such as management of student engagement, executing large events on campus, and providing a channel of communication between students and administration. Josh has always been passionate about helping other people realize their potential, and his many leadership experiences have informed his empathy for others and his desire to find progressive solutions.

Joshua first began his Breakthrough journey as a Breakthrough Leadership Program (BLP) Intern. As an individual who truly believes in the mission of Breakthrough Silicon Valley, he returned to be an Interim Middle School Program Coordinator, served as Program and Tutoring Coordinator and transitioned over to the Operations Team as Operations Coordinator.
