The Oakland Regional ACE teams are looking for new mentors in the Oakland and other East Bay areas.

ACE is a national non-profit made up of architect, engineer, and construction industry volunteers dedicated to introducing the industry to high school students in a free after-school program, with particular attention to at-risk youth.

Mentor time commitment varies depending on whether the mentors “share” their efforts or join us as solo mentors, but, generally, we look for a commitment of about 15 two-hour sessions once a week starting in January, plus some start-up/brainstorming sessions before the program kicks off. Two mentors may “split” the effort, if needed. The sessions typically meet from 4pm to 6pm after the work day.
