Ambassadors for Adventist Christian Education

Currently, AACE is composed of three types of groups:

  • Local Chapters - small groups of individuals dedicated to working with a specific, local school,
  • Institutional Chapters - colleges, universities and other such organizations with the resources to work with a large number of schools concurrently, and
  • Ambassadors-at-Large - individuals with unique skills and talents who are willing to work with any school in a reasonable area from where they live to build support for that school.

ROLES OF EACH GROUP

Local chapters, institutional chapters and ambassadors-at-large work autonomously on projects unique to their target schools. They are responsible for creating a collaborative relationship with the school, constituent churches, local community and conference. With the consent of the school administration, they work in a volunteer capacity, under their own timetable and agenda.
