Empowering the next generation of media creatives

The ACE Crew Media Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to developing the next generation of media professionals-particularly young and underrepresented photographers and filmmakers. We create real-world production environments where emerging talent learns by doing, working alongside experienced mentors on meaningful projects that serve people, organizations, and communities.

At The ACE Crew Media Foundation, we are committed to empowering underserved communities through media education, specifically tailored for media creatives. We believe that everyone deserves access to the tools and knowledge that can transform their lives. Our mission is rooted in the belief that creativity is a powerful tool for growth, confidence, and impact. By combining our mentorship programs with technical training, leadership development, and values-driven guidance, we assist the next generation of visionaries in turning their passion into purpose and potential into opportunity.

The ACE Crew Media Foundation exists as a nonprofit for young creatives, equipping, mentoring, and empowering rising media talent by providing real-world media production experiences that build skill, confidence, and character. Through hands-on photography training, professional collaboration, and community-centered storytelling, we help apprentices discover their voice, develop technical excellence in photography and videography, and step boldly into their calling.

Mentorship Over Theory Real guidance from working professionals in mentorship programs designed for media creatives. Production Over Practice Hands-on experience on real sets and projects, especially through our photography and videography nonprofit. Purpose Over Popularity Storytelling that serves people and communities, reflecting our commitment as a nonprofit for young creatives. Character Over Credentials Integrity, teamwork, and work ethic matter in all aspects of photography training.

The ACE Crew Media Foundation envisions a world where young media creatives are seen, equipped, and empowered to shape culture through excellence, integrity, and purpose-driven storytelling.  

We see spaces where talent is nurtured, voices are cultivated, and emerging media professionals gain real access to opportunity—regardless of background. Through our mentorship programs, collaboration, and hands-on production, we aim to raise a generation of visionaries who lead with confidence, character, and a commitment to meaningful impact.  

Our goal is for the ACE Crew Media Foundation to become a trusted pipeline for emerging photographers, filmmakers, and media professionals. As a photography and videography nonprofit, we ensure that creativity meets mentorship, transforming passion into sustainable skill. Our vision is to build lasting creative ecosystems that connect youth to real-world experience, professional networks, and the confidence to step boldly into their calling through our photography training.
