Ace: First Tee's Capstone Experience

Game-Planning for the Future

We are helping teens take an active role in building their future

Ace guides teens to game plan what’s next with experiences that help them stand out on a resume or application, and helps them stand prepared for whatever path they choose next. 

Through a series of four hands-on projects, participants are guided to explore who they are and what paths could be possible, create goals and an action plan, and build real-world assets to kickstart their next step. Ace participants begin with many questions and uncertainties and leave with confidence, greater perspective and vision for their next step. 

In this program, participants will: 

  • Integrate their knowledge & skills into planning for their future 
  • Invest in their community 
  • Explore who they are and where they want to go next 
  • Investigate future paths (education & career) 
  • Craft their goals & create a game-plan 
  • Build kickstart assets for their next step
