About
The ACE Project offers tennis, homework assistance, mentorship, academic enrichment, and social-emotional skill building. The program includes after-school, in-class, and summer opportunities that combine these activities.
• Schedule: After-school, in-class, and summer program options
The ACE Project serves up positive youth development in Black and Brown communities through tennis, education, and mentorship while fostering a more just, compassionate, and resilient society. It recruits and trains coaches and mentors from school personnel such as office staff, lunch monitors, and crossing guards, as well as parents and other adults who live in the community. The program began by launching a tennis camp for students attending Washington Elementary School in Riverdale, IL, and later expanded its model to include homework assistance, mentorship, academic enrichment, and social-emotional skill building. It brings positive youth development and economic opportunities to multiple schools, communities, and states and aims to strengthen the relationships between students, their families, and their communities to outmatch cycles that limit opportunity and success. ACE is a registered 501(c)3 organization.
