ACE Mentor Program of Oregon

ACE Mentor Program of Oregon ACE inspires high school students to pursue careers in Architecture, Construction, and Engineering.

Our mission is to engage, excite and enlighten high school students to pursue careers in architecture, engineering, and construction. The ACE Mentor Program is a national, proven after-school program that inspires high school students to pursue careers in the Architecture, Construction and Engineering (ACE) fields. ACE also secures business donations for college scholarships. The ACE Oregon affili

ate began in 2006, and first awarded college scholarships in 2007. This Portland-based chapter has grown significantly and now relies on 100 volunteer mentors to serve about 150 students a year from high schools across the metropolitan area. Since 2007, ACE Oregon has awarded $312,000 in college scholarships to students who plan to major in an ACE-related field. ACE gives students the chance to connect directly with Portland-area professionals in ACE fields. During 12 mentoring sessions held at employer firms between January and May, students:

• Work in teams with mentors and students from other schools on a building design project.

• Visit leading firms, explore different career fields and practice skills such as communication, networking and teamwork.

• "Pitch" their projects to educators, family and professionals at the program finale.

The ACE 2026 Mentor Program is in full swing! 🏗️

With finals approaching, it’s a great time to reflect on the fun journey we’ve had so far. Check out these photos from sessions 1 and 2 at the Lloyd Center back in January! Students met their teams for the first time, practiced communication and teamwork through the cup challenge, and were introduced to this year's new project: the Albina/Elliot Reparative Development Project.

Then, we kicked off March with Midterms where all teams shared their progress on their projects and collaborate with other teams on their sites.📝 Looking forward to their continued work and the finished projects at the final presentations!
