What - Always With Us Charities has been providing services for underserved families in Central Ohio for 9 years. Founded by Columbus Native/OSU basketball player George Reese. The current initiative is The ACE Program, a Coaching/Life Skills Program being introduced to high school freshmen. The ACE Program is partnering with Columbus City Schools and My Brother's Keeper (MBK) in the Columbus Mayor's Office, they are using a unique approach to "mentoring" by focusing on coaching, life skills and building/maintaining relationships. 9th grade students will have weekly engagements with local professionals, community leaders, and student athletes throughout the entire school year.
