African Community Economic Development of New England
Developing our community through education.
ACEDONE provides programs to help East African youth graduate high school, enter college and develop a stronger East African community in Boston.
While most of our beneficiaries are Somalis, we also serve Ethiopians, Eritreans and Sudanese who reside in greater Boston. We help them succeed in their new life in Boston.
Youth in Charge is made up of 14 Somali youth leaders who are committed to promoting change for a better future for Somalis around the world. Help us make a difference.
