What an unforgettable evening at the Big Give with ✨

Last night, ACI was honored to stand alongside other inspiring organizations as a finalist for the Impact100 NYC Grant. While we didn’t take home the top award, we did receive a $15,000 grant to advance our mission — and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Being in a room full of empowering women leaders committed to collective giving and community transformation was truly energizing. We’re proud to be part of a network that believes in equity, opportunity, and second chances for New Yorkers facing barriers to employment.

💙 Thank you, Impact100 NYC, for believing in our work.

Real safety starts long before anyone steps onto a jobsite -- it begins in the classroom, in hands-on workshops, and in every training session where students learn to recognize hazards, respond with the right skills, and respect the power of safe practices.

At ACI, we’re proud to equip New Yorkers with the certifications, technical skills, and real-world safety knowledge that protect lives and build careers. Because when workers are trained, supported, and confident, the entire industry becomes safer.

Safety Week may be ending, but our commitment to safety training continues every day.

Building Skills. Building Futures.

At ACI, learning isn’t confined to a classroom -- our participants also gain real, hands-on experience in the field. From bricklaying and masonry restoration skills to electrical and energy efficiency work, every training session prepares New Yorkers for jobs that offer stability, growth, and a path forward.

Our construction training programs give people facing barriers the chance to build confidence, master in-demand skills, and step into lifelong careers.

This is what opportunity looks like!
