The mission of ACES is to close the academic achievement gap of at-risk urban students in grades four through eight.

Join or renew your spot on the ACES Team with a donation today, and help ACES staff and 200 volunteers offer our urban students more than 30,000 total hours of academic after-school tutor/mentor programming during the 2011-12 school year.

Support during the first quarter of our fiscal year has been outstanding, with half of our financial goal of $400,000 for the year already raised. Thank you.

Now, we need you to rally around at-risk youth and join ACES in the fight against the academic achievement gap. Please support ACES and your community with a financial contribution today!

About ACES: ACES extends the school day for at-risk Minneapolis and St. Paul fourth- through eighth-grade students. Each day of ACES provides the opportunity for students to reach grade level or beyond in reading and math, and earn positive academic gains.

Join the ACES team!
