On this episode of the Engineering Influence Podcast from ACEC, we speak with Arthur Jones (TYLin), past president of ACEC Metro Washington, about his two-decade effort mentoring young people and building Community Youth Advance.

They discuss hands-on STEM exposure, workforce development partnerships, the power of consistent mentorship, and how diverse voices strengthen engineering solutions.

Arthur shares lessons learned, the program's growth, and a call to action for engineers and firms to engage with local youth and help develop future leaders.
