ACES is a nonprofit program that extends learning beyond the classroom by integrating math education with social-emotional learning through sports. It partners with all of Minnesota's professional sports teams to deliver hands-on curriculum, individual mentorship, and field trip opportunities for Twin Cities middle schoolers. The approach connects academic concepts to real-world contexts and uses sports as a motivating framework to support learning outside regular school hours. Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, ACES operates with a small team focused on delivering its programs to students in the Twin Cities. Its programming aims to strengthen academic outcomes and prepare participants for school, career, and community life.
