About Us

 

Achieve Learning and Resource Center was started by Dr. Juan Sanchez and Dr. Evelyn Boria-Rivera as part of an effort to build their community through educational services. Having grown up in the Bay Area, Juan experienced both the benefits and the shortcomings of a public education. While well-intended teachers always encouraged the pursuit of higher education, they often did so with dwindling resources and limited means. Despite these challenges, Juan graduated at the top of his class, put himself through college, and eventually earned a Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame. Now a Professor at one of California's premier universities, UCLA, Juan is giving back to his community. Teaming up with Evelyn, Alex, and Katiria, all of whom share similar backgrounds, Professor Sánchez has decided to offer solutions to some of the frustrations he had experienced in school by creating a non-profit Center that would affordably meet the needs of students in his community.
