California

ACE affiliates in California offer a variety of activities aimed at helping young people explore potential careers in architecture, engineering and construction.

In addition, both local affiliates and the ACE national office provide financial assistance to students who pursue a post-high-school course of study leading to a career in the building industry.

You can find an ACE affiliate in virtually every major California city. In addition to their immediate vicinity, some of these affiliates include local towns as well. For example, ACE Los Angeles extends to Pasadena, Rosemead, Santa Ana and Santa Monica, while ACE San Francisco reaches out to Oakland and San Jose.

In 2010, the combined California ACE Mentor Programs received a donation from the Golden State Builders Exchanges (GSBE) to provide scholarship money to students via the California Council.  The primary responsibility of this council is to make decisions on scholarship disbursements and to organize statewide ACE events.  For more information how to become a part of CalCouncil, please email Stephanie Davi Ercolini.
