The American Connection Corps (ACC) is a program of Lead For America (LFA), a national nonprofit organization focused on building a leadership force of moral, dynamic, and locally-rooted leaders committed to serving the communities they call home in every corner of this country. ACC is Lead For America’s boots-on-the-ground service corps, aimed at activating local leaders in rural and emerging communities to tackle critical, bi-partisan challenges to advance economic prosperity. Through ACC, Lead For America ensures that national service opportunities are indeed available in “every corner of this country.”
American Connection Corps Members advance economic prosperity in rural and emerging communities nationwide. Placed with a local public institution, members build critical capacity, attract resources, and activate community engagement across the following key areas:
Bridging the digital divide was selected as a core campaign of the American Connection Corps, and is an issue that unites all ACC Members as they serve across the above fields. Through yearlong training and support, members are equipped with the tools to understand how they can channel these resources locally, while also building capacity across a diverse set of host institutions and issue areas to ensure that the opportunity that broadband access facilitates can be fully realized.
American Connection Corps host organizations must be 501(c)(3) nonprofits, government entities (local, tribal, state, etc), or faith-based organizations focused on non-religious activities. Furthermore, all host sites should fall into one of our three program areas. Examples of types of sites that might fall into each area are listed below:
Across all program areas, ACC Members work to close the digital divide and advance community prosperity through their work. Each Member commits to devoting a year of their lives to national service.
Note: Upon completing this application, you will be contacted by a member of the ACC team to schedule a 45-minute phone consultation, during which we'll discuss your organization's needs and potential fit for hosting ACC AmeriCorps Members.
