February 1, 2012 Dear Educator: The ACE Mentor Program is a free after-school program for high school students who are interested in careers in architecture, construction management, and/or engineering. It is also a wonderful opportunity for students who are uncertain about their future or for those who have yet to be introduced to the world of design and construction to explore new possibilities. The benefits to all include career advice, high school-to-college guidance, skill enhancement, and scholarships for college bound seniors. Interested students should be highly motivated and able to attend team meetings located at mentoring firm offices throughout New York City. Meetings are typically held every two weeks for two hours starting at 4 or 4:30pm beginning in October however we have an accelerated team beginning February 6, 2012 at the office of Ted Moudis Associates at 79 Madison Avenue. The team will meet most Mondays through May 2012. We also have a team that already started which meets on Thursdays at KPF Architects on 42 nd Street and they are willing to accept new students. We have more room on the Monday team and students must send an e-mail to Annika@acementorny.org with their team selection. Please distribute the attached program fact sheet to students and let us know if there are other ways to share information about ACE at your school. Representatives from the program would be happy to meet with parent associations, student organizations and/or school faculty. We also welcome invitations to career fairs and student activity events. If there is someone else who should be receiving this notice, please provide their contact information.
