Our Story
The roots of ACES began during the 2020 global health crisis. During this difficult time, founder Navro Allen noticed a troubling trend within the NA2 Athletics program: student-athletes were facing increasing challenges regarding their mental health, educational progress, and social well-being. Recognizing that these students needed support beyond the playing field, Navro Allen and the NA2 Athletics Corporation took action. The result was the creation of Athletic Committed Enlightened Scholars (ACES), a non-profit officially established in December 2022 to address these critical needs.
Organization Overview
Founded by Navro Allen, Athletic Committed Enlightened Scholars (ACES) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the mental development, educational excellence, and social advancement of youth. We primarily serve student-athletes aged 9 to 18—a pivotal developmental window in a child's life.
