ACE Mentor Program of Washington

Since 2001, the ACE Mentor Program of Washington has helped Puget Sound-area students learn all about the architecture, engineering, and construction professions. The program is free to students, thanks to donations from local firms, mentors, parents, and other supporters. To date, it has also given $984,000 in scholarships to students who pursued A/E/C fields at the university level. During the ACE Mentor Program, teams visit major construction sites, complete projects, and meet bi-monthly at mentor firm offices. Qualifying high school seniors are awarded scholarships and many students remain in touch with industry professionals for continued mentoring with career choices, college and internship applications and future employment opportunities.
