Every order helps support teens in recovery

In 2014, Mary Ferreri – the Founder and Executive Director of Emerald School of Excellence, located in Charlotte, NC – began to notice a startling gap in care for adolescents with Substance Use Disorder between treatment and returning to school.

In her twelve years as an educator, Mary saw the impact substance use had on her students first hand. Fueled by the impact that substance use has had on her family, students, and friends, Mary set out to find an effective and sustainable solution to meet the needs of underserved youth in North and South Carolina.

Mary believes in strong core values and providing students with the necessary tools to face the inevitable challenges that life brings. The Emerald School of Excellence achieves this through Faith, Fitness, and Fellowship. She has an amazing team supporting and driving the vision to ensure that the students they teach are well-equipped for a healthy and bright future and are a part of our Emerald family forever!

A portion of every The Achieve Mint sale goes toward a yearly Emerald School of Excellence donation. With your help, The Achieve Mint is very proud and honored to help support the Emerald School of Excellence and the work they do to help teens in recovery build a brighter future.

Our work is just getting started. More updates coming soon!
