The ACE Mentor Program of Greater Philadelphia is the local affiliate of a national nonprofit focused on engaging high school students in careers within architecture, construction, and engineering. The program recruits students from public and private schools in Philadelphia and surrounding areas, with targeted outreach to traditionally underrepresented groups, and supports them through mentoring, scholarships, and grants. It relies on a network of volunteers from the design and construction industries to guide teams through a biweekly, year-long design and build process, culminating in a year-end presentation to mentors and families. Based in Philadelphia, the organization operates as a civic and social nonprofit with a footprint that aligns with the broader ACE Mission of expanding the future construction workforce through early exposure and hands-on experiences.
