ACE Pacific West SoCal crews serve in Yosemite National Park, Sequoia Kings Canyon National Park, Death Valley National Park, Pinnacles National Park, Joshua Tree National Park, on the Pacific Crest Trail, in State Parks, and in numerous other inspiring locations.

ACE projects have a lot of variety and as we move from season to season, you may also find yourself working on projects such as ecological restoration, habitat improvement, and trail maintenance and construction, all while completing a term of AmeriCorps service. While serving, members typically have 3-6 days off between each project to enjoy California’s abundant beauty and recreational opportunities with their friends and colleagues.
