CURRENT MISSION

To empower Greek high school students to get involved in their communities through service learning

ABOUT ME

My name is Harrison. I grew up in a coastal town called Marblehead, approximately 40 minutes north of Boston, Massachusetts. During my 3rd year of high school, my family moved to Rhode Island. I attended Northeastern University in Boston for 5 years, and earned my Bachelors degree in International affairs, with minors in Psychology, Political Science, and History, in May 2014. I am currently working as the Service Learning Fellow at Anatolia College, a private high school in Thessaloniki, Greece, for 1 year.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't quit, don't take the easy way out!
