ACE Mentor Program of Greater Baltimore, MD

ACE Baltimore’s objective is to give high school young people an opportunity to explore career possibilities in the building professions. The affiliate is a unique partnership of architects, construction managers, engineers, designers, professional organizations, high schools and universities. These community-minded firms and organizations support our program with substantial contributions of time, money and other resources.

In our fourth year, ACE Baltimore has grown to six multi-disciplinary teams with over 70 students from five local schools: Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, Carver Vocational–Technical School, Digital Harbor High School, Mergenthaler Vocational–Technical High School and Mount St. Joseph High School.

Forty-one mentors from over 27 Baltimore-based firms meet with these teams weekly after school for construction site tours, visits to college campuses and team projects designed to inform, challenge and actively engage program participants.
