The ACE Mentor Program is committed to the healthy development of impactful and supportive mentoring relationships. Such relationships are rooted in well trained mentors, volunteers, and students. ACE trainings rely on evidence based best practices in the field of mentoring and youth development to ensure maximum impact on the mentoring relationship and programming. ACE training materials can be used to onboard new mentors, provide match support to returning mentors, and assist board members and volunteers in creating more successful ACE programming. When ACE students engage with well-trained mentors and volunteers, they are more likely to have positive outcomes and continue in their pursuit of AEC careers!
Whether you are new to ACE or have been with us for years, join one of the trainings below to improve and sharpen your skills so you can better engage with ACE youth.
