The ACE Cleveland Mentorship Program works with high school students from the Cleveland Metropolitan School District who want to pursue careers in architecture, construction and engineering. The program aims to inspire and support high school students who want to pursue careers in these fields by providing them with hands-on projects and mentoring from experts. The program also helps the students explore different aspects of these careers and prepare for their future goals.

The students benefit from the guidance and inspiration of the mentors, who are professionals from the top design, engineering, and construction firms in Cleveland. These mentors volunteer their time and expertise to help the students develop their skills and potential, playing a major role in shaping the future leaders of the building industry and giving back to the community.

As a mentor, you will meet with students twice a week after school and occasionally on Saturdays, to guide them through hands-on projects and activities. You will also have the opportunity to support the program in other ways, such as donating scholarships, providing field trips and presentations, and joining committees for event planning, communications, etc.

Orientation will include:

• Introduction to the ACE Mentorship Program / mentorship role to those who are new to it
• Information on what the program entails
• The roles and responsibilities of mentors
• Ways to access support and resources to make this experience rewarding and enjoyable

This meeting is a great opportunity to get familiar with the program and ask any questions you may have
