ACE System

The Anh Chi Em (ACE) System is a mentorship program where participants are paired with either a big or a little! We hope this program will provide future leaders in our community with guidance and support in the form of a role model. Our goal is to help create more interpersonal relationships as well as meaningful connections that make our community feel more unified. With this new system, families will grow over the years and create a family tree to continue their legacy. We aim to broaden each participant’s network within our club and make their experience in VSA more personalized with making this change. We hope that through this system, we as a club can create deeper and life-lasting relationships for our members and uphold our region’s motto of fostering a brave and safe space for our members.
