ABOUT ACE RI

ACE Mentor Program of Rhode Island is mentoring and team-building program for high school students in the Rhode Island area interested in careers in architecture, construction, and engineering. Founded in the 2003-04 school year, ACE’s Rhode Island program helps high school students discover how to translate their interests and abilities into exciting, rewarding careers in the building and design industry.

Professionals drawn from leading area firms mentor teams of students, explaining the inner workings of their jobs, leading tours of major construction sites and challenging the teams with hands-on design projects.

The program also gives students a chance to win college scholarships and cultivate industry contacts that could help them obtain college admissions, internships and full-time positions.
