Last week, ACE MV students, faculty, staff, community partners, and volunteers gathered at Nomans to celebrate another incredible year of learning, growth, and connection.

Our annual End of Year Celebration is an opportunity to reflect on the classes, trainings, programs, partnerships, and accomplishments that have taken place throughout the academic year. It is also a chance to recognize the people who make this work possible—our students, instructors, community partners, volunteers, and supporters.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on June 17 for an evening of community and celebration. We are grateful for all who continue to support ACE MV’s mission of creating educational and workforce opportunities on Martha’s Vineyard. And most importantly, congratulations to all the students who finished a course, certificate or program this semester.

We invite you to enjoy a few highlights from the evening below!

Upcoming Courses

Join us for a 5-week class exploring the basics of the Brazilian Portuguese language and culture with Instructor Maria Angela Moreira!
