The ACE Mentor Program of Greater Kansas City is an after-school program for high school juniors and seniors that gives them a hands-on introduction to careers in architecture, construction management and engineering. It also offers much needed career guidance and scholarship opportunities. Founded in 2005 with 20 students from one high school, our program grew in 2006 to approximately 65 students from three high schools.
Working in collaborative teams guided by mentors from local building industry professional firms, students create projects that address situations and issues similar to those confronted every day by industry professionals. The result is a practical look at the opportunities and satisfactions available through a career in our industry.
A+DEN is a program of the Chicago Architecture Foundation, the American
Architectural Foundation, and the American Institute of Architects
