The ACE Summer Career Experience Program 2025 concluded with an inspiring End of Summer Presentation where students showcased their innovative ideas for restoring the Jesse Owens Home and designing a museum/air bnb on the Fairfax community of the City of Cleveland in collaboration with Cleveland Restoration Society. Guided by sustainability and community-focus, the students developed thoughtful plans to restore the Jesse Owens House to its original condition, creating a unique half-museum, half-Airbnb experience that honors Jesse’s legacy. Their concept also include a standalone gift shop and an Olympic track and sandpit inspired by Jesse Owens’ athletic achievements—offering visitors an immersive historical and recreational experience.��The students’ dedication, creativity, and professionalism were on full display during the inspiring End of Summer Presentation. We’re proud of their hard work and grateful for the invaluable real-world experience they gained through mentorship and community engagement.��Thank you again for your continued support in empowering the next generation of leaders, designers, and changemakers! Together, we’re building a brighter future.
