ACES Youth Corps Formed

The organization has had the good fortune of having 8 interns working on a variety of projects this year.  ACES President, Art Currier notes: “It has been a joy to have worked with our inspired interns - they have made a significant contribution to the effective development and execution of each project. Their stewardship and understanding of the fact that the well-being of future generations is at the heart of the need for broad based stewardship – locally, nationally and globally – allows them to play a key role in the launch of this leadership program.”

 The students who have played a key role in the formation of the Youth Corps include recent Newburyport High School graduates and interns Alyssa Keith, who will attend Babson College, Cami Loignon headed to Concordia University, and Eleni Protopapas going to UMass –Lowell. Other leaders are 2019 NHS graduate, Samson Leblanc, now attending UMass - Lowell and rising seniors Sam Cooper and Summer Noonan who will leverage their experience with multiple projects. Emmanuel College students, Andres Liang and Deanna Ruggerio, Roger Williams College graduate, Philip Parry of Merrimac and Waring School sophomore Camille Gimbrere have been working on fundraising, website, social media, database, and administrative systems plans and projects to contribute to the evolution of the corps. 

 ACES BOD Members Susan Mailhoit and Patrick McCormick are serving as the sponsors of this important program. Their goal is to ensure that our project teams are composed of the optimum numbers of youth corps members and advisors/mentors so each project’s results achieve objectives.
