The Work First Pitch Enables
Researchers estimate that students lost more than 6 months of learning during the pandemic -- and impacts on the students in the communities ACES serves are even more profound. Students are working hard to rebound, and they need the academic support, social-emotional development, and mentorship ACES provides more than ever before. At this pivotal moment for education, ACES is growing our programming in the Twin Cities, expanding to Greater Minnesota, and increasing enrollment exponentially. With your support, ACES is stepping up to the plate for Minnesota students.
Celebrating our Minnesota Educators
In partnership with Comcast, ACES is proud to honor and celebrate our Minnesota educators! Teachers, administrators, and school support staff are invited to attend First Pitch as our guests. Please select the “Educator Ticket” option when reserving your tickets. Thank you to Comcast for sponsoring our Minnesota educators at First Pitch!
