Brief Description:

Alliance for Climate Education (ACE) delivers in-person, science- and standards-based, multimedia presentations on climate change, in order to educate, inspire, and activate high school students on this pressing global issue. ACE Assemblies are free for schools. Teachers and students give our presentations rave reviews (check out our buzz here).  After the assembly, ACE helps students take action by starting Action Teams (environmental clubs) at their schools, and supporting those teams through grants, scholarships, project templates, student trainings and more.   Please visit our website, view our trailer presentation, and sign up to bring ACE to your school today!

ACE PROGRAMS

The ACE Assembly. ACE Educators connect with high school students through a free multimedia in-school assembly that uses custom animation, video, text messaging, music and storytelling to present climate science that sticks. Our assembly addresses state and national climate science standards. In three semesters, we have reached over 600,000 students in over 1,000 schools with our assembly program.

Student Action Program. After the assembly, students are eager to get involved and take action. We encourage all students to choose a DOT, a pledge to Do One Thing to help the environment and cool the climate. We also help more committed students to start an Action Team (environmental club) to take on carbon-reducing projects at school -- anything from starting a recycling club to solarizing the school district. We support Action Teams with in-person trainings, project ideas, grants and scholarships. Thus far we have over 21,000 students involved with over 600 Action Teams; more info at acespace.org/act-now/action-teams.
