Community Council ACE Program

ACE's overall goal is to provide enrichment that both complements and extends the Common Core Standards utilized by the Philadelphia School District's partnering schools. Our aim is to offer a variety of relevant activities that link to the appropriate benchmark standards. Our school year program will focus on making available culturally sensitive and environmentally aware programs that pique participants' interests and imaginations, encourages continuous creative involvement, provokes critical thinking, innovative problem solving, sparks self-examination and accountability for ones learning.

Our services are designed to be holistic, geographically accessible, culturally sensitive, and coordinated with other related service systems, both formal and informal. Community Council has a long history of providing mental health services to Philadelphia residents and is one of the City of Philadelphia's original 12 Base Service Units. We provide a range of mental health and substance abuse direct services and case management. The organization has a diverse staff of 200 that deliver evidenced based services in a culturally competent manner.
