African Community Economic Development of New England

African Community Economic Development of New England (ACEDONE) is an African-led, grassroots organization focused on educational issues and programs. Founded in 2002, ACEDONE’s mission is to help African refugee and immigrant families in Boston develop into a self-sufficient and vital in Boston by ensuring a quality education for our youth. Our current programming focuses on creating the conditions necessary for East African youth to graduate high school and enter college. We provide both after school and summer academic enrichment support, leadership development and civic engagement programming for our youth, and organizing support for both our youth and their parents.
