Achillea

Peer tutoring kids in foster care

Achillea: (Noun) A plant of the daisy family, used during the Trojan war to heal Achilles’ wounded soldiers. Although sometimes confused with a weed plant, the Achillea flower is capable of the extraordinary.

Our Mission

Achillea's goal is to help kids in foster care do well in school and enjoy their learning experience. Due to our abrupt shift to remote learning, many foster kids need help reinforcing their Spring curriculum so that they are best prepared for the coming school year. When learning happens among peers, kids are much likelier to be more receptive and retain information. Kids feel like they're being heard, instead of spoken down to.
