Achieve Atlanta Ambassadors

  • Avryanna
    I wanted to be an Achieve Atlanta Ambassador because I know what it feels like to navigate school, work, and life without always having support. I also want to be a part of something bigger than myself and contribute to a community that uplifts others. Leadership to me means being someone others can rely on, not just for answers but for encouragement, understanding, and real help when things get tough. I believe a good leader creates space for others to grow, and I want to be that person who helps others feel seen, heard, and capable of reaching their goals.  
  • Tijah
    I wanted to become an Achieve Atlanta Ambassador because I’m passionate about student involvement and creating opportunities for others. As a first-gen college student, I understand the challenges many students face, and I’m committed to helping them feel supported, empowered, and connected as they pursue their goals!
