ACES (Athletes Committed to Educating Students)

Founded in 1994, ACES is an innovative program that provides intentional, project-based curriculum and learning experiences that bring together sports, math, and social-emotional learning for low-income students in grades four through eight in Minneapolis and Saint Paul. The mission of ACES is to help reduce the academic achievement gap in the Twin Cities and improve the likelihood of success for underserved students. Our vision is that ACES students succeed in college and career, and become engaged citizens in safe and equitable communities.
