Minnesota United hosted students from ACES (Athletes Committed to Educating Students) at the National Sports Center for the team’s training session on Friday. The group represented the afterschool programming at Linwood Monroe Middle School.
All of the students were participants in ACES’ e-mentoring program, and were partnered with various staff members from MNUFC. The pairs spent 10 weeks corresponding via email about topics ranging from leadership to goal setting, and what the students were learning in ACES that week.
At the National Sports Center, mentors met their mentees in person for the first time. The group played games, watched MNUFC's training session and met the team after training finished.
