Partner with ACC to Build Local Capacity
Local talent. National support. One year of impact.
The American Connection Corps (ACC) is a mission-driven, upskilling, multi-generational talent organization powered by Lead For America (LFA). We connect individuals—whether they are recent graduates, career changers, retirees, or students taking a gap year—with locally rooted organizations working to strengthen communities through digital access, economic opportunity, and social connection.
By hosting an ACC Member, your organization gains the support of a trained, community-focused professional who brings new energy, capacity, and ideas to your team—all while developing the next generation of local changemakers.
About the American Connection Corps
Where we live increasingly determines which people, places, and possibilities we can access. ACC exists to change that. Each year, we recruit and place more than 100 members across 30 states to expand economic opportunities, bridge social networks, and open new career pathways.
ACC Members come from all walks of life. Whether they are:
- A gap year student building real-world skills and community experience before college,
- A career transitioner using service as a bridge to new opportunities,
- A retiree bringing a lifetime of expertise to mentor and lead, or
- A recent graduate launching their career through impact work—
ACC Members are united by their shared commitment to strengthening the places they call home.
Host Organization Eligibility
American Connection Corps host organizations must be one of the following:
- A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization,
- A government entity (local, tribal, state, or federal), or
- A faith-based organization focused on non-religious activities.
Funding and Partnership Details
Hosting an ACC Member requires a financial partnership. Host sites provide a local match to federal AmeriCorps and philanthropic contributions. The standard host site cost is $35,000 per Member per year. This fee supports member stipends, training, supervision, and national program infrastructure.
