Education

ACE provides in-person assemblies at high schools nationwide. A 2014 study by Stanford, Yale, and George Mason University showed that after viewing the live ACE Assembly, students demonstrated a 27% increase in climate science knowledge, more than one-third (38%) became more engaged on the issue of climate change, and the number of students who talked to parents or peers about climate change more than doubled. ACE also offers an online multimedia resource for schools.


Leadership

ACE youth leaders have lobbied elected officials for pro-climate policies including energy efficiency, fossil fuel divestment, and renewable energy. They have also spoken at events such as the United Nations, Bioneers, and Climate Action 2016.


Awards

Awards for ACE's work include the White House Champion of Change Award for Climate Literacy, the National Center for Science Education Friend of the Planet Award, the AQMD Award for Public Education on Air Quality Issues, the EPA Environmental Merit Award, and the Climate Change Communicator of the Year Award.
