Are you interested in a career in Architecture, Construction Management, Engineering or Landscaping?
ACE Mentor Program is a free national program that is open to any high school student who has the curiosity and
drive to learn about a career in design and construction — from contracting and engineering to architecture and
landscaping. As a participant, students will join a team of other students led by adult mentors who are practicing
industry professionals. ACE isn’t about merely describing specific professions; it’s about immersing students in the
profession by engaging students in actual building projects. These can range from new schools and mixed-use
developments to amphitheaters and temporary housing for movie stars on location. Students will visit professional
offices, job sites and other relevant locations. Students will discuss the same issues, and perform the same tasks,
as if they worked in the industry. ACE gives students a practical hands-on view of how abstract concepts get
transformed into the buildings that make up our everyday reality. If you are interested, follow the steps below:
Step 1: Check it out on www.acementor.org. Click on STUDENTS, watch the video at the bottom of the
