Board & Mission
The Atlantic City Education Foundation (ACEF) is dedicated to improving the quality of education and increasing support for the Atlantic City Public School system.
As an independent, non-profit, community-based organization, we aim to enhance the educational and cultural opportunities and experiences of children in Atlantic City schools.
Our programs are thoroughly designed to achieve our mission through various means:
We strive to identify and address areas of need within the Atlantic City Public School system, focusing our resources on programs that will have the greatest impact on students.
We work to provide a dependable and fair system for allocating community resources towards worthwhile programs that will benefit students in Atlantic City schools.
We aim to strengthen community involvement and support for the school district by engaging and inspiring community members to be actively involved in improving education in Atlantic City.
We believe that open communication is key to building a strong and thriving educational community. We encourage open dialogue and collaboration between the community and the school district on matters of mutual concern.
We are passionate about our mission and believe that together, we can make a difference in the lives of Atlantic City students.
Thank you for your interest in the Atlantic City Education Foundation. We hope you’ll join us in moving this mission forward.
