Alliance for Climate Education (ACE) is the national leader in high school climate science education; its mission is to educate and inspire youth to take action to curb the causes of climate change. ACE accomplishes this mission through dynamic, award winning multimedia school assemblies that make the complex subject of climate science and solutions relevant, interesting, and fun. Following these assemblies, ACE Educators assist students in implementing carbon reduction programs in their schools and communities, and also provide youth leadership opportunities reaching well beyond campus grounds. Using this process of education applied to initial actions and then major projects, ACE grooms leaders who can influence peers and effect change.

ACE is data-centric and tech-savvy, nimble and creative, passionate and results-oriented, and believes firmly in the Power of Awesome.

ACE has a current staff of 35, an annual budget of $3 million, and is planning for significant growth over the next two years. Job Description
