After several years of experimenting with various mentoring models, ACE was born in New York City in 1994 when seventeen firms banded together into 3 teams, each organized like a typical design and construction team, and “adopted” about 90 students from local high schools. Volunteers from each of the firms, serving as mentors, worked directly with the students to introduce them to the broad range of people and projects within the construction industry. Students were introduced to the various design professions and the role that each performs in planning, designing and constructing a project. Students also gained first hand insight into the design industry by touring project offices and visiting active construction sites. And students worked closely with their mentors to solve challenging “real world” projects. In the spring of 1995, ACE held its first fundraiser event, to establish a scholarship program for ACE graduates. Scholarships continue to be awarded on an annual basis to ACE graduates who go on to study in college for a career in the design and construction industry, or who progress through apprenticeship into the building trades. ACE continues to grow—both vertically and laterally. Chapters are “under construction” in cities across the United States, and existing chapters continue to add new mentoring firms
