Julien Leitner, Archimedes Alliance
Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand, and I can move the Earth.
This Archimedes quote, delivered by Julien Leitner’s 5thgrade science teacher, is what led to the now 14-year-old launching his own charity. That one notion made Julien, who accompanied his parents on volunteer outings even as an infant, realize that “there [have] to be a billion other people like me who want to make a difference, but feel they can’t…what if everyone just pooled their resources?”
His goal for Archimedes Alliance is to get 1 million people to donate $2 each and then to donate the proceeds to “a small charity with visible impact on the local community.”
I have a feeling Julien himself is going to have a visible impact…on the world.
