The heart of the ACE program is the mentoring relationship between the students and professionals from the A-C-E industries, with over 70 local firms providing volunteer mentors for the program. Mentor team members generally meet bi-weekly with students after school for a hands-on, interactive curriculum, including field trips and an RFP project.
Over the last twelve years, the Cleveland ACE program has provided over $1.4 million in scholarships to over 200 students.
