Amphibious Achievement is an athletic and academic mentorship program for high school students in the greater Boston area. Through a combination of coaching in rowing and swimming, and a focus on college-preparatory academics, our approach works to expand higher education opportunities for students looking for a second chance. Students, called Achievers in the program, learn how to translate the grit, discipline, and confidence taught in athletics into the classroom and are equipped with the mentorship and skills necessary to graduate high school and succeed beyond it. This program is completely student-run by MIT undergraduates and is free of cost to all students who participate.
