"Service Above Self"

Welcome to the Woodcliff Lake A.C.E.S. Youth Program!

For young men & women (12-17 yrs old) of Italian American heritage

A.C.E.S. is a fun and exciting opportunity for young men and women, ages 12-17*, to become more tuned in to their Italian American heritage. Members will experience the rich and varied history of their shared ancestry through social events, field trips and civic activities, while fostering friendships and giving back to the community.

*At least one parent or grandparent must be of Italian-American heritage. Community members ages 18 and over are eligible for adult membership.

A Note from the A.C.E.S. President

Dear Friends in UNICO,

Our first meeting of the A.C.E.S. Youth Program was great! Thank you to everyone who showed up, had some pizza, and shared some laughs. I'm really excited about all of the plans we have for this year, including our next event, the Italian American Thanksgiving Feast.

If you want to be included on my email list for A.C.E.S. news and updates, email me at Christina@wclunico.org.

A.C.E.S. stands for Athletic, Cultural, Educational, Social/Service. Objectives of the program are: to foster a positive image of all Italian Americans, to bring together young people with the same heritage and background; to have young Italian Americans become more familiar with their heritage, culture, traditions, and the Italian language; to provide places and events so that youngsters will have the opportunity to meet and socialize with their peers; to provide youngsters with the opportunity to discuss current issues that affect their daily lives; to provide help and guidance in college placement, job opportunities, scholarship availability and career availability; to provide service to the community. Like Woodcliff Lake UNICO, A.C.E.S. is a not-for-profit organization.
