ACE is a national nonprofit dedicated to educating America's high school students about the science behind climate change and inspiring them to do something about it—while having fun along the way. We're based in Oakland, California, with educator teams in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, Boston, Atlanta, Colorado, Houston and Austin.

ACE delivers two core offerings: the ACE Assembly and Student Action Program.

ACE Assembly: Presenting the science in a way that hits home
ACE educators present climate science that sticks through storytelling, cutting edge animation, music and video.

• Our presentation explains greenhouse gases and their sources, how human-caused emissions risk altering the world’s climate on an unprecedented scale—and what that means for students
• We engage students’ imagination through real-life stories of ordinary students who have undertaken extraordinary projects and proven that high school youth can have a huge impact today
• We close with simple ideas and wide-ranging opportunities for students to get involved
• All of the climate science we present comes from the IPCC report--one of the most heavily researched science reports in history.

Student Action Programs:  Jump-starting climate projects
When the ACE Assembly ends, many students are ready and eager to take action, and our Student Action Programs help get them started.  ACE programs include:

• Our national Do One Thing (DOT) campaign to help the environment
• Student-led ACE Action Teams focused on climate projects in their school and community
• Leadership training for climate rock stars
• ACE grant and scholarship opportunities for motivated schools and students

We also work with an array of partners to provide expert assistance to students, post lots of fun videos, and ask for feedback and give away prizes through our vibrant Facebook page. Please check out our site, book an assembly at your high school, and find out what YOU can do to reshape the future!
