ACE Mentor Program of Greater San Antonio

04/27/2026

Huge thank you to Metro SA for inviting the ACE Mentor Program of Greater San Antonio to speak at this month’s Superintendent’s Breakfast! 📚🏗️

It was truly an honor to share our work across San Antonio with so many dedicated educational leaders who are shaping the future of our students and our community. Conversations like this are why we do what we do: connecting young people with real-world construction and design experiences, and building pipelines that last.

A special well done to our Board Member Heath Wenrich of RVK Architects for representing us at the event. Your leadership and advocacy make a huge difference in amplifying ACE’s mission throughout San Antonio. 👏

Grateful to be part of a network that values mentorship, opportunity, and the next generation of builders, engineers, and architects right here in Bexar County. Here’s to many more collaborations!

Coming to Wednesday’s Student Presentations at UTSA Main Campus? If so, just park at either the Ximenez Avenue Garage or the Tobin Ave. Garage and then head on over to the Student Union Building. We are looking forward to a great evening together!

We’re proud to share that Terracon has awarded funding to support the ACE Mentor Program of Greater San Antonio and its impactful Student Presentation Program!

Through this program, students from 14 local schools gain real-world AEC experience by presenting their design-build projects to industry adjudicators. This hands-on opportunity builds confidence, sharpens technical and communication skills, and offers meaningful exposure to careers in architecture, engineering, and construction. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗖𝗘 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟭, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗲𝘅𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗼 - 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗮 𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘂𝗺.

This support is made possible through the 𝑻𝙚𝒓𝙧𝒂𝙘𝒐𝙣 𝙁𝒐𝙪𝒏𝙙𝒂𝙩𝒊𝙤𝒏, which helps employee-owners give back to organizations that encourage young minds, provide support in times of need, and help build vibrant, sustainable communities.

To create meaningful change, the Foundation supports charitable organizations and programs aligned with Terracon’s mission and values, focusing on three interconnected areas:

𝗘𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – Sharing a passion for STEM while fostering programs and mentorship opportunities.
𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 – Supporting innovation across engineering, construction, and architecture; advancing sustainability; and strengthening communities.
𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 – Investing in education and the built and natural environment while building leadership in underrepresented communities.

As the ACE Mentor Program of Greater San Antonio celebrates its 20th year, we extend our sincere gratitude to Terracon for its generous support and continued investment in our students. Partnerships like this make it possible to provide meaningful, real-world experiences that shape the future of our industry. Thank you, Terracon, for helping us empower the next generation of AEC leaders!
