AlaQuest Collaborative for Education is dedicated to making Social-Emotional Learning an integral part of education in Alabama. Born out of a desire to turn a horrible tragedy into productive action, ACE was created in 2015 as a response to the senseless murder of twenty-two-year-old Joshua Smith. He was son, brother, and friend to the co-founders.

You can help support the social, emotional, & leadership development and mental health of youth in Alabama. This year we have served more than 5,000 K12 students, adults, and educators through our in-school and community programs. With your help we can reduce violence, increase student academic success, and develop future leaders in Alabama.
