The ACE Mentor Program is a national non-profit organization. ACE’s Oregon affiliate was founded in 2006 by local Portland architecture, construction, and engineering professionals. In our first year, 28 mentor volunteers served a small group of 27 students from 6 high schools. Since then, Oregon's ACE program has experienced remarkable growth and served over 2,000 students from more than 50 high schools. In the past 20 years, ACE Oregon has also awarded more than $1.3 million dollars in scholarships to students who are entering ACE-related careers.
