Find an Achilles Chapter
Achilles has chapters in communities throughout the world. Each local chapter is run by dedicated members and volunteers who generously give their time and energy to recruit participants, organize workouts, and secure funding.
All Achilles chapters within and outside the U.S. operate as affiliates of the Achilles International organization. While each chapter may find a variety of ways to recruit, publicize, and support themselves, all chapters are administered under the same guidelines and all have the same mission: to transform the lives of people with disabilities through athletic programs and social connection.
