About Us

The ACE Mentor Program of New Jersey is the third oldest affiliate in the country, starting in 1999 with two teams in Newark. This year, we anticipate having ACE teams in Newark (3), East Orange, Jersey City, Middlesex County, Paterson, Camden, Cumberland County, Trenton and Atlantic City.

Each of the teams follows the same model:

- Mentors from architectural, construction management, and engineering firms meet with teams of 20-25 students fifteen times after school between October and March

- At these sessions, students learn what architects, construction managers and engineers do from mentor presentations and hands-on activities

- The sessions are “project driven” and just as would happen in a real world design/construction project, all members of the team participate in developing the project

- Other “real world” activities include field trips to construction sites and apprenticeship facilities.

- At the end of the ACE season, all our teams are brought together at a final presentations night and given the opportunity to “present” their projects

- The program culminates with a fund-raising breakfast at which scholarships are awarded to deserving graduates of the program.

Note: Since it began awarding scholarships in June of 2000, ACE New Jersey has awarded $255,500 in scholarships to 174 deserving graduates of the program.
