We are excited to announce that Lead for America is now seeking organizational partners to serve as partner agencies and host sites for a nationwide expansion of the American Connection Corps<https://www.leadforamerica.org/american-connection-corps> (ACC) program that will launch in August 2023.

The American Connection Corps is the largest digital equity and broadband infrastructure AmeriCorps program in the nation. ACC also works to advance rural prosperity while building our country's civic leadership in places where talent is often encouraged to "leave and never come back."

ACC AmeriCorps members are placed in a paid, full-time service position as Fellows addressing local connectivity needs in communities in their hometown or home state. ACC AmeriCorps members earn a living allowance of $30,000/year and typically serve 40 hours per week, providing key capacity-building as "boots on the ground" support for local host site organizations seeking to advance broadband access, digital literacy and skilling, and/or rural development.
