Celebrating Spring Cohorts at ACE MV

As spring continues on Martha’s Vineyard, ACE MV is proud to celebrate the students, educators, community partners, and workforce programs creating new opportunities across the Island. From English language learning and healthcare career exploration to strengthening early childhood education, these cohorts reflect the power of connection, learning, and community support.

Thank you to everyone who continues to learn, grow, and build with us.

ESL for the Workforce Cohort

The ESL for the Workforce cohort is using the online platform EnGen to strengthen English language skills and open new doors in their careers.

Through guided lessons and independent practice, participants are building confidence in workplace communication and everyday conversations.

Students also come together in person to share progress, practice language skills, and support one another in a collaborative learning environment. These gatherings create meaningful opportunities for connection, encouragement, and growth throughout the program.

Career Explorations: Careers at MV Hospital

ACE MV partnered with Martha’s Vineyard Hospital to host a Career Exploration focused on careers in healthcare. Participants got a behind-the-scenes look at the many full and part-time opportunities available at the hospital through department tours, conversations with front-line workers, and direct insight from professionals in the field.

The sessions also included hands-on application support and guidance from an ACE MV Career Navigator to help participants explore next steps toward healthcare careers. Thank you to everyone who joined us and took a step closer toward their future career path.

Family Child Care Network (FCCN)

The Martha’s Vineyard Family Child Care Network (FCCN) brings together local home-based childcare providers to connect, learn, and grow together.

During a recent gathering, providers joined librarian Hannah Burbridge for an engaging conversation about diversity in literacy and explored resources including inclusive children’s books, toys, and learning materials.

Through the FCCN, providers receive professional development and licensing support, small business resources, curriculum ideas, shared materials, and a strong network of peers and collaborators.

By supporting family child care providers, ACE MV is helping strengthen early childhood education across Martha’s Vineyard and creating nurturing, enriching environments for children ages 3 months to 5 years old.
