Program History:

This is ACES 18th school year. We are operating our programs in 6 school sites throughout Minneapolis and St Paul and are hoping to serve at least 600 students this year. We continue to grow each each year and hope to serve at least 100 more students each year and expand our reach throughout the Twin Cities.

Events:

We have several "Internal Events", which involve staff, volunteers and students. In addition, ACES holds two major fundraising events each year. One is a 5K Run/walk that takes place on "Black Friday" and the other is a luncheon that is hosted by ACES long-time board member Mark Rosen.
