Adolescent Cultural Exchange through Sports

Founded in 2014 and given a 501(c)(3) in 2015, Adolescent Cultural Exchange through Sports is aimed at giving low-income, inner-city students a chance to broaden their horizons by experiencing a world outside of their own. ACES will be taking student athletes overseas on a cultural, educational, social and sports trip. These trips are geared toward showing the students that what they see in their daily lives isn't all the world has to offer. Using that new found understanding, it is ACES hope that the cycle of poverty, educational neglect, drugs, and other problems that these young men and women face will be broken and replaced with a new cycle of higher education, hard work, and an understanding that no matter their situation, they can be successful.

Our mission overall, is to motivate our future leaders by providing them with a more enthusiastic approach to life.

Principle Based Leadership

To develop men into servant-first leaders worldwide; to train men to discover and live out their created-for purpose in authentic community as a Band of Brothers, loving husbands and fathers, and as followers of Jesus, the ultimate servant leader; to leverage the advance of the Kingdom of God on earth by aligning with like-minded social activist and faith-based organizations to bind up the broken hearted, empower the poor, rescue women and children at risk, mentor and rehabilitate prisoners, set free those who are bound in chains, and awaken those who sleep. And while doing so with all diligence and genuine humility, acknowledging and deflecting any and all credit or praise to our Father in Heaven who gave us life, the will and love to serve others, and every gift we have to give.

Search for Common Ground

Mission: End Violent Conflict. It’s our purpose- our call to action. Everyday, we see images of refugees fleeing from conflict in the Middle East. Of families torn apart by war. Of women abused by the men who were supposed to protect them. Of violence between people of different religions and political beliefs. Our solution? We transform the way people deal with conflict - building sustainable peace for generations to come. We work with all sides of a conflict, providing the tools they need to work together and find solutions. Our approaches include Community projects like street theater and sports games; Media including radio shows, comic books, and television shows; and Dialogue, such as leadership workshops, back channel diplomacy, and town hall meetings.   Instead of tearing down an existing world, we focus on constructing a new one.

We are directed, run and being built by low-income people. We are a growing grass roots organization that uses public education, public policy research, community organizing, leadership development, voter education & mobilization, and direct action issue organizing to build our membership and to organize around issues that are defined by our membershiwe broadly define "welfare activism" to be multi issue, and thus must include issues such as education, training, jobs, housing, economic development and other community issues. We fill a critical gap in that our organization connects public policy with grass roots organizing and leadership development.
