Meet Our Team:
At Achillea, we believe that youth, though often overlooked, have the power and drive to create real change. In fact, Achillea was originally founded as a small NYC Hunter College High School club in October 2019 with only 5 members. Since then, it has grown into a national entity, connecting students and tutors from across the country. The work of these individuals, and countless talented volunteers, stand as a testament to what youth are capable of.
