Where we live increasingly determines which people, places, and possibilities we can access, leading to a rise in cultural divides, social and economic inequities, and community insularity. The American Connection Corps (ACC) is an AmeriCorps program that leverages the power of national service to expand people’s economic opportunities, bridge their social network, and open them up to different perspectives.

 

While national in scope, we operate from a deep respect for place. We know that each community has unique challenges and opportunities, and tailor member service accordingly. Ultimately, we aim to nurture a national network of leaders with the empathy and diversity of lived experiences to bridge the divides and inequities in our nation.
