About us
American Conservation Experience (ACE) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing rewarding environmental service opportunities for youth, young adults, and emerging professionals of all backgrounds to explore and improve public lands while gaining practical professional experience. ACE is a national leader in recruiting, coordinating, and training volunteers to undertake practical environmental restoration projects in U.S. parks, forests, wildlife refuges, and other public lands. Our programs provide opportunities for youth, young adults, and emerging professionals of all backgrounds to gain tangible professional and field experience through meaningful, hands-on conservation projects. In 2004, ACE began as a small, international conservation program in Flagstaff, Arizona, engaging global volunteers in an American Conservation Experience through rewarding public lands projects. Since then, we have grown to serve locations across the U.S. and Puerto Rico, continuing our mission to foster cross-cultural understanding and unity through national service.

🗣️ EPIC Member Spotlight! Meet Mo, a Historical Resource Member at Brown v. Board of Education National Historical Park through ACE's Cultural Resources Diversity Internship Program (CRDIP). Learn about Mo's internship experience in her own words: "This summer has flown by so quickly while I’ve been on my internship journey! I’ve taken field trips, seen amazing archives and archival spaces, heard amazing stories about civil rights and the fight for freedom from first hand sources, and made some lasting connections. Getting to learn about different archival and filing systems and seeing what goes into keeping these systems running was an amazing experience. From visiting the underground archive spaces in Independence and the Harry S. Truman home, to the Haskell Cultural Center and Museum, to Midwest Archeological Center in Lincoln, the field trips were an amazing glimpse into the behind the scenes of museum and historical resource management."
