Allen County Education Partnership (ACEP) is a non-profit literacy organization located in Fort Wayne, IN.  Our mission is to improve academic achievement for youth through business, community, and education partnerships.  We accomplish this goal through our two main programs: Project READS and Parent Literacy Enrichment classes. 

Project READS is an after school tutoring program for children in kindergarten through third grade who are reading below grade level.  Students are paired with a trained volunteer for one hour each week at various locations throughout the city.

Parent Literacy Enrichment classes give parents grade level-appropriate tools and techniques for working with their child(ren) who is entering kindergarten through third grade.  Parents who attend both two hour sessions take home approximately $100 worth of books and materials to help encourage and teach their child.

In addition, ACEP is a partner in many educational outreach programs including Learn United, the ITT Excellence in Education Awards, Rally to Read, and Tools for Teachers.

A promising future depends on an awareness of educational needs and actions to meet those needs. Allen County Education Partnership is dedicated to focusing its resources to those ends.
