ACED is a second-chance "association for young men who for various reasons dropped out of school and now find themselves without a job and with minimum or no job skills," said Collectivity councilor Louis Mussington. Founded in 2002, the association provides gardening and landscape training and assists with placement for youngsters ages 18 to 25. Reiph distributed copies of the 2011 Black History quiz at the meeting with ACED, giving the young men an opportunity to win $500 in prizes.
