Around the country, trained ACE educators bring in-person, science-based, free, multimedia presentations to high schools. In our presentations, we cover the facts behind climate change and what students can do to stop it. This fall, we’re on track to reach 140,000 high school students with our program. Here’s a trailer of what we do:

After every presentation, we see that high school students get it when it comes to climate change. They realize human-caused climate change is real and that it is the most urgent challenge of their generation. We also see that students are ready to take it to the next level and do something about climate change.

And so, beyond presentations, ACE helps students get involved through action toolkits, grants, scholarships, leadership trainings, social networks like Facebook and more. Check out scholarship winner Kristine Cabuago!

You may also notice that in our name is the word Alliance and we strive to be just that! We look to connect and direct students to national and regional organizations wherever possible and help them plug into the larger climate movement (ie: please contact us if you are a national or local climate organization that works with young people!).

And so on this Blog Day of Action, we want you to know that high school students are powerful and they can change the course of humanity. It is our hope here at ACE that we can support students with the knowledge, tools and resources they need to make a difference.
