ACE Mentor Program of Greater Denver, CO

ACE Mentor Program of Colorado serves high school young people who want to explore careers in architecture, construction and engineering. Throughout the year, the ACE program, which meets two hours per week for 17 weeks, introduces participants to building industry professions by having them plan and design mock projects on real sites and work with professionals in the design and build industries.  Students also have the opportunity to work with graduate students from the University of Colorado at Denver (UCD). UCD students earn credit hours toward their degrees by participating in the program as mentors.

ACE in Denver has worked with 350 students in 10 high schools and awarded more than $300,000 in scholarships.  We are looking forward to expanding our program in the 2010-2011 season as we add Aurora Public Schools to our list of school districts which currently include:  Denver Public Schools, Jefferson County Public Schools and the Cherry Creek School District.
