ABOUT
THE JACE GROUP
“BECAUSE WE CAN ALL BE BUILDERS.”
Service is Love
One of our favorite ways to serve is through our Mentorship program. We believe that having a positive role model can make all the difference in a young person’s life. Our mentors are carefully selected and trained to provide guidance and support to our program participants. Whether its help with homework, career advice, or just someone to talk to, our mentors are there to provide the support that young people need.
MENTORING IS WHAT WE DO
At Our Core

At The JACE Group, we understand the importance of providing young people with the tools they need to succeed. That’s why we focus on developing life skills that are essential for success in all areas of life. Our programs are designed to help young men & women develop the confidence and skills they need to navigate the challenges they face in today’s world.
Statement of Need
Atlanta, Georgia is twentieth on the list for Cities with the Most Murders 2023 per 100,000 people. Since the pandemic, there has been a rise across the country of student behavioral issues leading to increased suspensions and expulsions.

We discuss and model conflict resolution, situational awareness, critical thinking, emotional intelligence amongst other life skills.
