Our Mission & Leadership
ACE Mentor Program of Greater Boston provides a career exposure program where high school students from Greater Boston — who otherwise would not have the opportunity — learn about the architecture, construction, and engineering industries. With our carefully-designed engagement with predominantly underrepresented youth through hands-on, project based programming, ACE engages, excites, and enlightens high school students to pursue careers in architecture, construction management, and engineering. We engage mentors and offer college scholarships to support the program graduates in their continued advancement in the ACE fields.
ACE Mentor Program of Greater Boston is an affiliate of ACE Mentor Program of America. Founded in 2007, ACE Mentor Greater Boston is led by an Executive Director, an all-volunteer board, and an active group of volunteer mentors and coordinators. ACE marshals approximately 85 volunteers each year to mentor and support students in the program.
