About This Cause
Philosophy ACE aims to prepare African American Males and men of color for individual excellence through our core principles of Family, Academics, Motivation, and Environment (FAME). ACE implements the FAME model to ensure program focus on the whole child, improve physical health and well being, ensure youth empowerment, and improve skills to promote healing. Men will learn compassion and understanding (Family), a strong educational and cultural foundation (Academics), the value of perseverance and determination (Motivation), and how to use their individual talents for the greater good (Environment). The FAME model sets the foundation by which any male scholar that participates in the program will fully develop the skill sets and characteristics of becoming “viable world citizens.” Services School Based Programs ACE partners with local nonprofits, schools and school districts to provide leadership and identity development modules for African American Males and young men of color ages 10-21. ACE’s core curriculum is centered around the values of self-efficacy, identity and personal leadership development. The modules are offered in various learning modalities and feature topics such as but not limited to, core values, money management, time management, community & personal accountability and health & wellness specific to the needs of young men of color.
