Make a difference in a foreign land!
Throughout the year, schools contact A.C.E. requesting assistance in their Learning Centers. Many schools are in countries that have been darkened to the Gospel for centuries, and they need help strengthening their ministries and educating children. This is why the Educational Assistance (EA) program, an outreach of ACEM® was created. Through the EA program, high-school graduates volunteer in schools worldwide for six months or longer. The EA program can be a short-term or long-term, in-person or virtual ministry opportunity. Schools need someone with a servant's heart who is familiar with the A.C.E. curriculum and learning methodology to work alongside them as they reach children for Christ in their area.
Many openings are available to educational assistants. Get ready to witness children being transformed through the love of God and His Word as you assist with their education.

What training do I need?
Prior to beginning your Educational Assistance ministry, you will be asked to complete the A.C.E. monitors' training in a local school. A thorough understanding of the A.C.E. School of Tomorrow program is important as you may be asked to be involved with every facet of the program, such as orientation, parent conferences, and record-keeping. Gaining practical experience with the ABCs program in a Learning Center environment is also extremely helpful.
What financial support is needed?
For your financial support, the total amount needed varies depending on your place of service and the length of your stay. You will need to figure in the cost of a round-trip airline ticket, passport, visa fees, and living expenses on the field. Check with an Educational Assistance Representative or the foreign ministry with which you will be serving for more details on the total amount needed for support. Consider some of these fundraising ideas to help offset some of the costs.
